First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested whether naloxone, a drug that reverses opioid overdoses, can help people with epilepsy breathe better right after a seizure. About 485 adults with drug-resistant epilepsy were monitored in the hospital. If they had a seizure, they received either naloxone or a placebo. The goal was to see if naloxone speeds up recovery of normal oxygen levels, which could lower the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
