Recruiting studies
- NCT04715646RecruitingPhase 3
Brivaracetam study for children with hard-to-control seizures
This trial looks at how safe brivaracetam is and how well it can be used in children and teens with certain types of epilepsy that are not well controlled. It may help families who are dealing with frequent focal seizures despite taking seizure medicines.
Hawthorne, New YorkAges 1 month+ - NCT07329257Recruiting
Project PENGUIN: Study of rare brain development disorders
This study looks at rare and ultra-rare conditions that affect brain development. It aims to learn more about what causes these conditions. You may join if you or your child have a diagnosed or suspected neurogenetic disorder.
Columbia, MissouriAges Up to 99 years - NCT06924086Recruiting
Adaptive deep brain stimulation for children with epilepsy
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (adaptive deep brain stimulation) that adjusts in real time to stop seizures in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It's for children who haven't gotten enough help from medications and have frequent drop seizures.
LondonAges 5–14 - NCT07399327Recruiting
SEEG thermocoagulation for hard-to-treat epilepsy
This study is looking at how well a procedure called SEEG thermocoagulation (a way to stop seizures by heating a small area of brain tissue) works for people with epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication. By joining, you will help doctors understand why this treatment works for some people and not others.
MarseilleAges 12 years+ - NCT01858285Recruiting
Genetics study for children with epilepsy
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of epilepsy in children. It may help your family better understand what could be driving seizures, even if the cause isn’t known yet.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07377032RecruitingPhase 3
L-serine for GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorders
This trial tests whether an amino acid supplement called L-serine can help people with GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorders. These disorders are caused by specific genetic changes that affect brain function, and the study aims to see if L-serine can improve symptoms.
LyonAges 2–30 - NCT06555965Recruiting
STXBP1 and SYNGAP1 natural history study
This study follows people with STXBP1 or SYNGAP1 gene changes over time to learn more about how these conditions affect the body and mind. It does not test a treatment but helps researchers understand the natural course of the disorder.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06278428Recruiting
Epilepsy in Infants: Genes and Disease Course
This study looks at children with severe epilepsy that starts before age 2. It aims to understand how different gene changes affect the disease and how it progresses over time.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges Up to 1.9 years - NCT07828496Recruiting
Brain training with neurofeedback for children after brain injury
This study helps children and teens improve thinking and memory after a brain injury or epilepsy using a brain-computer interface that gives feedback as they do mental exercises. It is a training program that may help strengthen brain function.
SingaporeAges 7–21

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for epilepsy in children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 33 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.
