Parent info sheet may cut ER visits for kids' fever seizures
NCT ID NCT07335640
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving parents an explanatory sheet after their child's first simple febrile seizure reduces repeat emergency visits and eases anxiety. About 100 parents of children aged 9 months to 5 years will receive the sheet. The goal is to see if better education can prevent unnecessary medical visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- explanatory sheet
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a simple information sheet helps parents manage fever fears and avoid unnecessary emergency visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is just a leaflet, so any effect may be modest.
