====== Recurrent seizure ======

[[Recurrent]] means you have a seizure more than once.

===== Risk Factors =====

[[Antiepileptic Drug Withdrawal]] at ≥16 years of [[age]] and a [[diagnosis]] other than [[juvenile myoclonic epilepsy]] may be independent risk factors for [[seizure]] [[recurrence]] after drug withdrawal in [[adolescent]] patients

[[Recurrence]] [[rate]]s and risk factors for [[seizure]] [[recurrence]] following antiseizure [[medication]] [[withdrawal]] in [[adolescent]] [[patient]]s with [[genetic generalized epilepsy]].

===== Prevention =====


[[Pregabalin]] was associated with a relative reduction in [[seizure]] burden in neurocritical ill patients with recurrent [[seizure]]s, especially those with [[cyclic seizure]]s, and may be considered in the therapeutic arsenal for [[refractory]] [[seizure]]s. Whether this effect is mediated via modulation of [[spreading depolarization]] requires further study
