Moving from pediatric to adult epilepsy care
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how young people with epilepsy transition from pediatric (children's) specialists to adult neurologists. Researchers want to understand what helps or challenges this transition to improve the care experience.
