First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with epilepsy digest food and liquids at a normal rate after following standard pre-surgery fasting rules. Researchers will use a quick, painless bedside ultrasound to check the stomach contents of 30 adults with epilepsy before their scheduled surgery. The goal is to see if current fasting guidelines are safe for epilepsy patients or if they need to be changed.
