A Study of Neurophysiological and Inflammatory Biomarkers of Seizures and Brain Injury in Children

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to connect brain inflammation measured by biomarkers, with data from advanced EEG technology, and clinical outcomes to provide new predictive information about seizure activity in children with critical brain injuries and epilepsy.
