Summary

Nocturnal seizure and Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy patients (SUDEP) are major concerns for parents and creates anxiety and poor sleep conditions for many families dealing with epilepsy. An accurate and reliable system for alerting parents to ongoing seizure activity could make a substantial impact in quality of life and possibly reduce the mortality of epilepsy. No previous studies in the pediatric population have been performed to evaluate this type of monitoring for seizure activity. This is one of the most common questions parents ask in clinic, "Are there any alarms that can tell me when my child is having a seizure at night?" Currently the answer is no. This study has the capability to give us data that may change this answer to yes.
