Summary
This study tested whether training community health workers to treat childhood epilepsy can help close the treatment gap in Africa, where many children go without care. Over 1,600 children in Nigeria participated, with health workers providing epilepsy medicines and monitoring. The goal was to see if more children could become seizure-free for at least six months, compared to usual care.
