Condition: Late Onset Epilepsy · Stroke · Dementia · Sponsor: Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
There is not much known about why some people develop seizures in adulthood, but some researchers think that it might be a warning from the body to highlight something may be wrong with the brain. A small number of people with first seizure in adulthood go on to experience problems like stroke or dementia later in life. However, stroke and dementia are common diseases, so it is not know whether there is a real association between these conditions. When people develop their first seizure in adult life, this is sometimes called Late-Onset Epilepsy. The NeuroFrailty study, will observe 'brain health' over the years following the onset of a seizure, to provide more information about people with these kinds of seizures.
