Abstract:
A study was conducted at the Indian Epilepsy foundation to investigate the possibility of seizure being precipitated by the solar eclipse viewed on October 24, 1995. 47 known epileptic parient were included under the study.
Study revealed that 4 patients, out of 47 have some relevant findings. Of these 4 patients, one parient had fits at the time of eclipse. This patient however was not on regular medication. Hence the fits cannot be considered due to solar eclipse.
Thus there is no positive correlation between epilepsy and solar eclipse occuring during minimal solar activity.
