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
- Your child is between 9 months and 5 years old.
- This is the first or second time your child has had a simple seizure with a fever (seizure lasted less than 15 minutes, involved the whole body, and they were back to normal within 24 hours).
- The seizure happened between January 1, 2022 and May 1, 2025.
- You (one parent) were present during the emergency visit at Strasbourg University Hospital.
- Your child has no history of brain or nerve problems.

This study looks at how certain body chemicals change during a fever-related seizure in children aged 6 months to 5 years. It aims to help doctors understand these seizures better, which may lead to better care and advice for families.
This trial tests whether giving parents clear written information and a text message after calling emergency services for a child with a simple fever helps them manage the fever at home and reduces unnecessary worry or visits.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and treat people after their first suspected seizure. It may help if you've had a recent event that might have been a seizure and haven't been diagnosed with epilepsy before.
This study looks at what causes severe seizure episodes (“status epilepticus”) and a related immune condition that affects the brain (“dysimmune encephalitis”). The goal is to better understand the disease process, which may guide future care.
This study looks at people ages 18 to 65 after they have a first seizure that is not clearly triggered. It also compares them with healthy volunteers to better understand what might predict whether seizures come back.
This study looks at newborns (up to 28 days old) who have seizures to understand them better, using EEG brain-wave testing. If you agree to participate and can follow the study plan, your child’s information may help researchers learn more about neonatal seizures.
