First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looks at whether measuring a protein called S100B in the blood can help emergency doctors quickly tell if a person's fainting spell was caused by epilepsy or something else, like a heart problem. About 100 adults who come to the ER after losing consciousness will give an extra blood sample. Their final diagnosis will be checked three months later to see how accurate the S100B test is.
