This study tested if a smartphone app can identify absence seizures in children. Kids with and without seizure history used the app during hyperventilation, which is a safe way to trigger seizures. The app recorded video and sound, and doctors compared the app's accuracy to stand…

This study tested a device called STARSTIM that delivers a mild electrical current to the brain (tDCS) to see if it can safely reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medication. 127 participants aged 9 and older received either real or fake (sham) stimula…

This study looked at whether safety information about the epilepsy drug Depakine (sodium valproate) is reaching doctors and pharmacists in Saudi Arabia. Researchers surveyed 455 healthcare professionals to see if they read the materials and know how to use the drug safely. No pat…

This study aimed to create a computer algorithm that can detect epileptic seizures by continuously analyzing the heart's electrical activity (ECG). Researchers studied 40 epilepsy patients who had seizures recorded during long-term monitoring. The goal was to see how accurately t…

This study followed 72 newborns who had seizures shortly after birth to see if inflammation plays a role in later developing epilepsy. Researchers measured seizure activity and checked how many children later developed epilepsy. The goal was to better understand the link between …

This study tested a mobile app called OASES that guides clinicians step-by-step through emergency care for severe diarrhea, breathing problems, and seizures. About 15 nurses and clinical officers in a rural Ugandan hospital used the app during simulated emergencies to see if it h…
