Volatile Non-Invasive Biomarkers of Epileptic Seizures
Sponsor: University College London Hospitals
Summary
Breath and sweat samples will be collected from people who have been admitted to hospital after a potential seizure and analysed by the team. The researchers then hope to identify a pattern of small molecules that can distinguish seizures from other events, and perhaps determine the severity of the seizure.
