NCT02766595 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2016-05-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Children referred for routine EEG studies for suspected absence seizures will be asked, upon caregiver's informed consent, to perform 3 minutes of hyperventilation both in the supine position and while sitting up. We aim to demonstrate that hyperventilation is more effective in eliciting absence seizures in a sitting position than while lying down.
