Key Points

The research aims to clarify the definition and treatment options for seizure clusters, emphasizing their clinical importance and management variability.
Conducted a literature review of 32 original articles regarding seizure clusters treatment.
Focused on definitions, efficacy outcomes, and adverse events across outpatient and inpatient settings.
Analyzed outpatient treatments like diazepam nasal spray, midazolam nasal spray, and oral lorazepam.
Examined inpatient management including intravenous benzodiazepine administration and antiseizure medications.
Outpatient treatments demonstrate similar efficacy and safety but lack direct head-to-head comparison.
Off-label use of oral benzodiazepines is common due to limited evidence for alternative options.
Inpatient management reflects agreement on first-line treatments for status epilepticus, like prompt benzodiazepine use.
