Pre-hospital seizure rescue for children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies how well rescue treatments given at home work for children aged 2-18 who have repeated or prolonged seizures. It aims to improve emergency care before reaching the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
