Researchers dig into thousands of medical records to unlock secrets of prolonged seizures
NCT ID NCT04204863
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will collect data from the medical records of 1,000 adults treated for status epilepticus (a prolonged seizure emergency) at two Swiss hospitals between 2005 and 2023. Researchers aim to learn how factors like early treatment, monitoring, and complications affect patient outcomes. No new treatments are being tested; instead, the goal is to gather insights that could improve future care.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could improve how doctors predict outcomes and tailor treatments for status epilepticus, potentially reducing complications and deaths.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a clinical trial testing a new treatment. It cannot prove that any specific change in care directly improves outcomes.
