Autonomic changes following generalized tonic clonic seizures: An analysis of adult and pediatric patients with epilepsy

Highlights • Autonomic changes following a GTC were measured using a wrist-worn sensor. • Adult patients had longer durations of post-ictal generalized EEG suppression. • The duration of post-itcal suppression correlated with the degree of sympathetic activation. • Post-ictal sympathetic and parasym...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Autonomic changes following a GTC were measured using a wrist-worn sensor. • Adult patients had longer durations of post-ictal generalized EEG suppression. • The duration of post-itcal suppression correlated with the degree of sympathetic activation. • Post-ictal sympathetic and parasympathetic markers differed depending on age.
