Intranasal Midazolam Versus Rectal Diazepam for the Home Treatment of Seizure Activity in Pediatric Patients With Epilepsy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Midazolam and Diazepam for Seizures. Completed, enrolled 358 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing the use of nasal midazolam, using a Mucosal Atomization Devise, to rectal diazepam for the treatment of acute seizure activity in children under the age of 18 years with epilepsy in the community setting. The primary hypothesis is that nasal midazolam will be more effective and have shorter seizure time compared to rectal diazepam in the community. The secondary hypotheses are that patients treated with nasal midazolam will have fewer respiratory complications, emergency department visits, and admissions.
