Information sheet for parents after a first febrile seizure
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a simple information sheet can help parents who just went through their child's first febrile seizure. If you and your child meet the criteria, you may be invited to participate after the emergency visit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
