First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests whether levetiracetam, a seizure medication, works as well as magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures in pregnant people with severe preeclampsia (a serious high blood pressure condition). About 1,240 participants at 32 or more weeks of pregnancy will be randomly assigned to one of the two drugs. The goal is to see if levetiracetam can prevent seizures with fewer side effects, improving safety for both mothers and babies.
