Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study adds a hybrid sleep education program to standard pediatric neurology care for children with epilepsy. Participants in the intervention arm receive a combination of clinic-based sessions and digital modules aimed at improving child sleep habits and parental management strategies. Sleep quality, daytime functioning, and parent-reported health measures are collected using questionnaires and clinical follow-up. The program is delivered at National Taiwan University Hospital and is designed for Mandarin/Chinese-speaking families.
