Hidden heart risks in kids with brain conditions?
NCT ID NCT07184008
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 70 children aged 1 month to 18 years who have neurological disorders like epilepsy, migraine, or stroke. Researchers will use echocardiograms and ECGs to check for hidden heart problems. The goal is to understand if heart issues are common in these children and how they relate to brain conditions.
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 help doctors spot heart issues early in children with neurological conditions, potentially improving care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find strong links, and results might not apply to all children.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will include pediatric patients presenting with neurological manifestations (such as seizures, motor deficits, stroke, or altered consciousness) who are admitted to the Pediatric Neurology and Cardiology Departments, or presenting to the Emergency Room (ER) at Assiut University Hospital. These patients will be further evaluated for underlying cardiac diseases using echocardiography (ECHO) and electrocardiography (ECG). Both male and female patients will be included.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. pediatric patients (1 month - 18 years) diagnosed with a neurological disorder (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, demyelinating disorders, neuromuscular diseases and migraine) confirmed by clinical data (history \& examination) and/or neuroimaging ( CT \& MRI ). 2. Both sexes (Male \& Female) were included in the study. 3. Patients willing to participate and provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. patients younger than 1 month old. 2. critically unstable patients in whom echocardiography could not be performed safely or was technically in adequate for interpretation. 3. patients refuse to participate in the research.
