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 investigates the presence of THC-COOH in sweat collected from children under 3 years old who are admitted for acute cannabis intoxication. Sweat is stimulated and analyzed using LC-MS, with hair sampling conducted to compare results. The goal is to determine whether sudoral contamination could confound hair-based exposure assessments and therefore clarify prior exposure history. Follow-up occurs 1–2 months after inclusion to complete the data profile. The study is conducted at pediatric centers in Toulouse and Limoges, led by University Hospital, Toulouse.
