NCT ID NCT07496749
First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet, a high-fat, low-carb eating plan, can help stop seizures in people with super-refractory status epilepticus—a life-threatening condition where seizures continue despite strong medications. About 84 adults in intensive care will be randomly assigned to receive the diet or standard care. The main goal is to see how quickly the seizures stop, based on brain activity and clinical signs.
