Levetiracetam for Seizure Emergencies in Children
This study looks back at children who had a prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) and needed a second medicine after the first one didn't work. Doctors want to see how well levetiracetam works compared to phenytoin, so they can choose better treatments for future children.
StrasbourgAges 3 months–17 years - NCT06376279Enrolling by invitation
Genetic testing for metabolic diseases
This trial uses genetic testing to find the cause of suspected metabolic diseases, including some cases of epilepsy. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis and guide treatment.
Ages Any age - NCT04144439RecruitingPhase 4
GABA treatment for ADHD and seizures in children with epilepsy
This trial studies whether adding GABA (a substance that affects brain signaling) can help children who have both epilepsy (seizures) and ADHD. If it works, it may reduce symptoms related to either seizures, ADHD, or both.
TantaAges 4–18 - NCT07064421Recruiting
Brain wave test for kids with hard-to-control seizures
This trial uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography) to look at brain activity in children whose seizures don't improve with medication. It may help doctors decide if surgery could be an option.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 3–18 - NCT06271785Recruiting
Predicting success of epilepsy surgery in children
This study uses a special, detailed brain-mapping technique (called high-resolution electrical source imaging) to see how well it can predict success after epilepsy surgery in children. It aims to help doctors decide which children might benefit most from surgery.
AngersAges 2–17 - NCT02821260Recruiting
Evaluating epilepsy surgery results in children at a French hospital
This study looks at how well epilepsy surgery works for infants and children treated at the Rothschild Foundation. It mainly depends on whether your child is already scheduled/being treated there and whether you agree to participate.
ParisAges Up to 18 years - NCT06444126Recruiting
Study of fever seizures coming back and epilepsy risk
This study follows children who had their first seizure with a fever to see how often seizures come back and if they develop epilepsy. It helps doctors understand which children need extra monitoring.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 1 month–8 years - NCT06701084Recruiting
Genetic Causes of Infant Epilepsy at Boston Children's
This study looks at the genetic causes of epilepsy that starts in babies under 1 year old. It aims to learn how a genetic diagnosis might help guide care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06668519Recruiting
brain wave study in children with seizures and other conditions
This study uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) to look at brain activity in children with conditions like seizures, brain tumors, autism, and others. It may help doctors learn more about how these conditions affect the brain.
ShanghaiAges 1 month–18 years - NCT05285059Recruiting
Study how children with epilepsy learn
This trial studies how children with epilepsy learn and process information compared with children without brain, mental health, or learning conditions. It may help researchers understand the learning needs of children living with epilepsy.
Bron, BronAges 8–14 - NCT05885646Recruiting
Sulthiame study using sleep EEG in children with epilepsy
This trial tests whether sulthiame changes sleep-related brain wave activity (EEG) in children with certain epilepsy syndromes. It may help doctors understand how sulthiame affects the brain’s electrical patterns between seizures.
AngersAges 6–15 - NCT06593951Recruiting
EPM1 natural history study
This study will follow people with EPM1 over time to better understand the disease. It is a registry, meaning you will share information through video calls and questionnaires, with no experimental treatments involved.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06585618Recruiting
Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry
This study creates a list of children who already have or plan to get Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to see how it helps with movement problems. Joining helps doctors learn more about how DBS works in kids.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–18 years - NCT06202976Recruiting
Mapping epilepsy networks with brain imaging
This trial uses advanced brain imaging to map the networks causing seizures in children with certain types of epilepsy. The goal is to better understand where seizures start so doctors can plan more targeted treatments.
ParisAges Up to 18 years - NCT06455384Recruiting
Studying a digital tool for genetic testing services
This trial tests a new online tool called the Genetics Navigator, which helps people access genetic testing services more easily. If you or your child have been referred for genetic testing at Mount Sinai Hospital or SickKids in Toronto, this study may help you manage the process online.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03865771Recruiting
Sleep study to improve memory in children with focal epilepsy
This study looks at how sleep affects memory in children with certain types of age-related focal epilepsy. It compares them to children hospitalized for non-nerve (non-neurologic) reasons to see whether sleep-related brain patterns relate to learning and memory.
NancyAges 6–13 - NCT06212609Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for kids with hard-to-control epilepsy
This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation method (transcranial electrical stimulation) to reduce seizures in children with hard-to-control partial epilepsy. It aims to find the best stimulation spot and settings for each patient by using advanced brain scans.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for epilepsy in children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 34 recruiting epilepsy in children studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a epilepsy in children trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a epilepsy in children trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
