View clinical trials related to Neonatal Seizure.
Filter by:Epileptic seizures in newborns (often called "neonatal convulsions") represent the most frequent neurological problem in newborns (1-3/1000 newborns). The type of seizure and their etiology is very varied and therefore the therapeutic protocol also requires adaptations with a personalization of the therapeutic approach according to the characteristics of the case according to principles of precision medicine in particular for forms of neonatal epilepsy compared to epileptic seizures acute symptomatic. In recent years it has been highlighted that the clinical characterization and instrumental characterization, in particular electroencephalographic, of epileptic seizures represents an important biomarker that allows the choice of therapy to be oriented appropriately. In the literature there is a lack of single-center studies that relate the type of crisis according to the new ILAE 2017 classification (Fisher 2017) and its proposal for neonatal adaptation (Pressler 2021) with the etiology, type of therapy and outcome neurological after a few years. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the correlation between the type of seizure determined according to the ILAE classification (clinical variables), the EEG findings of the epileptic seizures and the specific etiology of the epileptic seizures. The secondary aim is to evaluate the correlation between seizure type and etiology with effective therapy, length of hospitalization and neurobehavioral development outcome. The study design is a retrospective observational on the population of neonates managed at our center in the last decade.
The purpose of this study evaluate the relationship between inflammation and epilepsy in neonates with seizures after birth.
