Summary

This study looks at whether simple body movements, like crossing legs or tensing arms, can help prevent fainting in children aged 6 to 18. Participants who visit the emergency department after a fainting episode will either receive standard care or learn these counterpressure maneuvers. They will be followed for one year to see if the movements reduce fainting episodes.
