Faster way to stop seizures?

A new University of Kentucky study may help give paramedics a different option for treating patients' seizures and preventing them from injuring themselves before they receive more treatment at a hospital.

The clinical trial will determine whether it is as effective to use an auto injector to deliver anti-seizure medications to patients intramuscularly (IM) as it is to treat seizing patients by intravenous injection (IV), the current protocol used by Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
