➤ How long does the tonic phase typically last?
The tonic phase usually lasts a few seconds to about 20 seconds in generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Short tonic periods are common. If stiffening continues beyond five minutes or the seizure repeats without recovery, treat as status epilepticus and seek emergency care. Duration guides monitoring and immediate management.
