Searching for the hidden link: could inflammation after newborn seizures predict future epilepsy?
NCT ID NCT04259125
Summary
This study aimed to understand if inflammation in a newborn's body after seizures is linked to developing epilepsy later in childhood. Researchers followed 72 newborns who had seizures shortly after birth, measuring substances in their blood related to inflammation. The goal was to identify which babies are most at risk for future epilepsy, hoping this knowledge will lead to better treatments.
