Seizures Spike Brain Pressure—But Briefly!

Turns out, seizures from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can cause a quick spike in brain pressure, but it doesn’t last long! Researchers tracked optic nerve sheath diameter (a way to check brain pressure) in ECT patients and found it jumped during seizures and muscle relaxant injections, then went right back to normal. Basically, your brain gets a pressure boost during ECT, but it’s just a blip. Wild how our bodies bounce back so fast! #BrainHealth #Seizures #ECT #MedicalResearch #NeuroScience #Health
