Race against time: new drug combo tested to stop deadly seizures faster

NCT ID NCT01150331

Summary

This study tested if giving two seizure-stopping drugs together works better than one alone for adults experiencing a dangerous, prolonged seizure before they reach the hospital. It involved 203 patients and was designed to find a safer, more effective emergency treatment that paramedics can use without needing a patient's full medical history. The goal was to stop the convulsions more quickly and reliably to prevent brain damage and other complications.
