Complex Partial Seizures

A complex partial seizure can cause a variety of symptoms. These symptoms, however, may occur during one seizure but not another.

•        Unable to answer.
•        Staring off into space or appearing to be daydreaming
•        Picking at the air, clothing, or furniture
•        Repeating words, yelling, laughing, or sobbing
•        Doing dangerous actions by doing things like crossing in front of moving vehicles or taking off all or part of their clothing
•        Making bicycle-like movements
•        Being confused when the seizure stops
•        Being ignorant of their surroundings, either partially or completely,
•       Hallucinating
•       Attempting to do self-harmful stuff.

Devices:

•        Stimulation of the vagus nerve
