摘要
The increasing necessity to address and answer questions regarding disparities in epilepsy among different racial/ethnic groups is not being fulfilled. The present study found that only 6.6% of clinical trials in epilepsy reported the race/ethnicity of study participants. and only 1.9% did try to analyze possible differences between them.
