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

Summary

This study tests whether probenecid, a medicine used for gout, can stop cluster seizures in people with focal epilepsy. Participants are patients aged 6 to 50 who are in the hospital for presurgical monitoring and have their usual seizure medications paused to trigger seizures. The goal is to see if a single dose of probenecid prevents further seizures for 12 hours, using video-EEG to track results.
