This study is trying to find better ways to predict whether someone will have another seizure after experiencing their first unprovoked seizure. Researchers will use advanced brain scans, thinking and mood assessments, and brain activity recordings to develop a prediction tool that can help doctors decide if treatment is needed right away.
After a first unprovoked seizure, most people don't have another one, but some do. Currently, doctors don't have a reliable way to tell which patients are at higher risk early on. This study aims to fill that gap by finding brain and cognitive changes that might predict who will have another seizure, so doctors can make better treatment decisions.

You will visit the clinic within 2–4 weeks of your first seizure to complete thinking and mood assessments, brain scans (MRI), and a brain activity recording (EEG). After that, you'll keep a seizure diary and receive phone check-ins at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to see if you have any more seizures. The researchers use this information to develop a tool that can predict seizure risk in patients like you.
