NCT ID NCT05823766
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 300 people who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) to learn more about the long-term risk of developing epilepsy. Researchers will use interviews, brain scans, blood tests, and EEGs to track changes over time. The goal is to better understand how and why epilepsy develops after a TBI, which could lead to better prediction and diagnosis in the future.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could improve how doctors predict and diagnose epilepsy after a traumatic brain injury.
What could go wrong
