Summary

This study follows 100 children under 18 who are already using a ketogenic diet for conditions like drug-resistant epilepsy, autism, chronic migraine, or brain tumors. Researchers want to see if the diet supports healthy growth, improves symptoms, and boosts quality of life over 6 to 12 months. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are given—just careful tracking of how kids do on the diet.
