Status: Recruiting

Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The goal of this observational study is to learn about epilepsy after a stroke (post-stroke epilepsy). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What make some patients develop epilepsy after a stroke? * Does sleep have an impact on the development of post-stroke epilepsy? Participants will undergo: * Electroencephalography (EEG) * Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) * Polysomnography (only patients) Blood tests will also be taken. The patient group will be compared to the healthy controls. Researchers will also look into medical records of stroke patients hospitalized at St. Olavs hospital and collect relevant information.
