| | Seizure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Seizure is often associated with a sudden and involuntary contraction of a group of muscles. | | | After a seizure, aches, pains, headache, lethargy, and a bitten tongue are common. | | | Seizures can cause involuntary changes in body movement or function, sensation, awareness, or behavior. |

| | Seizure Assistance Dogs |
| | Seizure alerting behavior is a naturally occurring behavior. | | | The dog provides a measure of comfort for the child, can provide a distraction during unpleasant medical procedures, such as blood tests, and when the child has therapy, the dog can be used during the therapy session by the therapist to enlist the child’s participation. | | | Unfortunately, there is no way to predict which dogs would be more likely to develop this behavior; some dogs are just emotionally upset by the seizure or have picked up on the parents emotions during previous seizures and are responding to that. |

| | Although surgery is not used as often as drug therapy, the results are similar – about 70 percent of all patients getting either full or greatly improved control of seizures, and the rest have only a slight improvement or none at all. | | | It begins with a tonic phase in which the individual falls to the ground unconscious, with stiffening of the entire body. | | | Of the methods listed above, drug therapy is by far the most often used and is almost always the method tried first. |

| | The seizures may be characterised by a change in awareness as well as automatic movements such as fiddling with clothes or objects, mumbling or making chewing movements, or wandering about and general confusion. | | | Anyone can have a single seizure at some point in their life. | | | The muscles then relax and tighten rhythmically causing the person to convulse. |

| | What is epilepsy or a seizure |
| | In a seizure there is normally a stimulus that starts the brain down the path to seizing; this can be either something overt, such as ingestion of a drug, flashing lights or it could be some non-obvious change such as a drop in blood-glucose level or in body temperature. | | | Seizures can be broken down into 3 basic classes (there are many more, but in a big-picture sense) by how much of the body is affected: | | | During this time the body is using tremendous amounts of energy to sustain a seizure, and the danger here is that the brain is using up oxygen very rapidly. |
