Abstract

Many patients with epilepsy experience seizure clusters, which have consequences such as problems at school or work and decreased quality of life. However, according to the Seizure Cluster Burden of Illness US Study, only one-third of patients report having a seizure emergency plan. Research also suggests that patients and caregivers often respond differently to emergency situations than their clinicians recommend. Multiple options are available for the acute treatment of seizure clusters, and newer nasal spray formulations can easily be used. Seizure Action Plans and Acute Emergency Seizure Action Plans provide direction that may alleviate fear and hospitalization, benefitting the patient and caregiver and the health care system.
