The patient’s condition stabilized with a combination of antiseizure medicazions. Despite cessation of SRSE, the patient remained in a minimally conscious state at discharge, showing only gradual improvement over time.

Participants with controlled seizures were more likely to engage in moderate exercise compared to respondents with uncontrolled seizures. The top two general perceived barriers were having no one to exercise with and not liking exercise. Epilepsy-specific barriers were higher in respondents with uncontrolled seizures compared to those with controlled seizures, with the top two reasons being fear of “exercise-induced” seizures and lack of guidance on appropriate exercises. Our findings showed that there were more participants with controlled seizures who perform moderate exercise compared to those with uncontrolled seizures.
