Objective
Intermittent rescue therapy may be used for seizure clusters, which are clinical emergencies that may persist ≥24 h and increase risk of status epilepticus, emergency room visits, and reduced quality of life for patients with epilepsy. Beyond effectiveness for aborting seizure clusters, no data exist on how intermittent rescue therapy may impact the long‐term natural course of seizure clusters...
Objective
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel formulation of midazolam administered as a single‐dose nasal spray (MDZ–NS) in the outpatient treatment of patients experiencing seizure clusters (SCs).
Methods
This was a phase III, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01390220) with patients age ≥12 years on a stable regimen of antiepileptic drugs. Following...
Objective
To evaluate safety‐ and seizure‐related outcomes with repeated intermittent use of a novel formulation of midazolam administered as a single‐dose nasal spray (MDZ‐NS) in the outpatient treatment of patients experiencing seizure clusters (SCs).
Methods
In this open‐label extension trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01529034), patients aged ≥12 years and on a stable regimen of antiepileptic drugs...
Most seizure emergencies occur outside of the hospital, and there is a need for treatment interventions that can be administered quickly and safely by nonclinical caregivers. Intranasal benzodiazepine administration does not require intravenous access and offers rapid seizure cessation. Intranasal midazolam is faster at aborting seizure activity than rectal diazepam and quicker to administer than...
