NCT ID NCT01906619
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 children with fever to see if those who have febrile seizures breathe differently. Researchers measured breathing rate, carbon dioxide levels, and body temperature while children slept. The goal is to understand why some children have seizures during fever, which could lead to new ways to stop them.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide the basic data needed to design a future trial testing carbon dioxide inhalation to stop febrile seizures.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 100 children, so results may not apply to all. It does not test any treatment, so direct benefits are not expected.
