Comparison of Intranasal Midazolam with Intravenous Diazepam for Treating Febril Seizures in Children: Prospective Randomised Study
BMJ 321:83-86,64, Lahat,E. et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Seizures were controlled more quickly with intravenous diazepam than with intranasal midazolam, although midazolam was as safe and effective as diazepam. The overall time to cessation of seizures after arrival at hospital was faster with intranasal midazolam than with intravenous diazepam. The intranasal route can possibly be used not only in medical centres but in general practice and, with appropriate instructions, by families of children with recurrent febrile seizures at home.
