NCT ID NCT02631759

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether giving the seizure drug levetiracetam right away can prevent seizures in people who had a brain bleed (hemorrhagic stroke). About 50 adults with a recent brain bleed received either the drug or a placebo. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce seizures detected by brain monitoring, which might improve recovery.
