Fever's impact on seizures in rare genetic disorder revealed
NCT ID NCT06663163
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how fever changes seizure patterns in people with CDKL5 deficiency disorder, a rare genetic condition that causes hard-to-control seizures. Researchers surveyed parents of 131 affected individuals to collect information on fever history and seizure frequency. The goal was to better understand the link between fever and seizures, not to test a new treatment.
