Seizures in children with Dravet syndrome in extreme heat: A qualitative study of parental perspectives
This research highlights the aggravating role of heatwaves and how parents implement thermoregulation strategies. These findings inform clinical guidance for managing Dravet syndrome during extreme heat, and emphasize the need for further research into the prevention of heat-related seizures.
