Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco are among 17 research centers that are trying to figure out the best way to give anti-seizure medications in emergency situations.
Unlike patients in other studies, people who suffer a seizure are often unconscious and unable to give consent.
Patients who do not want to be in the study need to wear a specific red bracelet. For more information or to obtain a bracelet, contact Stephanie Casal at Stanford (650) 721-2645 or Michele Meeker at UCSF (415) 206-3220.
