Race to calm tiny brains: new drug tested for uncontrolled seizures in newborns

NCT ID NCT04519645

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called lacosamide could better control seizures in newborns compared to standard medicines. It involved 29 babies whose seizures were not stopped by their first anti-seizure drugs. Researchers measured seizure activity using brain wave monitors to see if the new drug reduced seizure time more effectively.
