Nursing support for parents of babies with Hirschsprung disease
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial is for parents of babies with Hirschsprung disease who need daily nursing care before surgery. It studies whether extra nursing support can help reduce parents' stress while taking care of their baby at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 2 months old or younger and has or is suspected to have Hirschsprung disease

- Your baby may be able to go home before the surgery
- You (and the other parent if applicable) are willing to sign a consent form
