Life after a seizure emergency: study tracks hidden toll on mind and body
NCT ID NCT06100978
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows adults who survived a severe, prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) that required intensive care. Researchers want to understand how this experience affects quality of life, thinking abilities, emotional health, and daily function months to years later. They also measure the burden on family members. The goal is to better describe the long-term challenges survivors face, which could guide future care and support.

- What could go wrong
