Sleep and Music for Kids with Epilepsy

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

Children with epilepsy will use one of two music modules for six months, twice daily, while researchers track sleep, activity, diaries, and seizures. The study compares an experimental music module to a control module to see which helps more with sleep and overall well-being. Participants will wear an activity/sleep tracker, complete assessments, and keep seizure diaries throughout the trial. Parents will assist and participate, with data collected in a Chinese-language setting.
