Epilepsy Watch After Vascular Events: Frequency, Outcomes, and Risk Markers

Slovenia602 participantsStarted 2014-11-01

Plain-language summary

This research aims to determine the frequency of seizures in patients following a stroke, identify risk factors associated with post-stroke seizures, and characterize EEG changes linked to these seizures. Unexplored alterations in the aperiodic component of the EEG in post-stroke patients could potentially serve as novel biological markers for epilepsy after stroke.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients were eligible for inclusion if they had experienced an acute stroke or a seizure occurring at any point after a previous stroke. Exclusion Criteria: Patients were excluded from the study if they did not meet the inclusion criteria or if diagnostic procedures could not be performed in accordance with the research protocol. Exclusions were made following good clinical practice principles.
