Intermittent Home Treatment of Status and Clusters of Seizures
Author:
Abstract
Summary: Clinical trials in children and adults indicate that the intermittent oral or rectal administration of diazepam is an effective and safe alternative for the acute management of recurrent paroxysmal disorders. Prompt home treatment of dangerous or upsetting relapses can prevent the morbid effects of prolonged seizures and offer the patients and their families a sense of control over the illness.Keywords
