- NCT07219407RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term safety study of RAP-219 for focal seizures
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of RAP-219, an investigative medication for focal epilepsy. It is for people who already completed an earlier study of RAP-219, have a type of epilepsy that doesn't respond to standard medicines, and use a surgically implanted brain device (RNS system) to help manage seizures.

Testing BHV-7000 for hard-to-control focal seizures in adults
This study tests a new medicine called BHV-7000 for adults whose focal seizures (starting in one part of the brain) are not controlled by current treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce seizures safely.

Long-term study of XEN1101 for people with epilepsy
This study gives XEN1101 in an open-label way (everyone knows they’re getting the drug) to people who finished earlier epilepsy studies. It aims to see how the treatment continues to work and whether it’s safe over the long term.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 12 years+ - NCT07116421RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Rose smell and seizure-related breathing pauses study
This study tests whether smelling rose oil can reduce or prevent breathing pauses that sometimes happen during seizures. It is for epilepsy patients staying in the hospital for EEG monitoring.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06934356Recruiting
Awareness and brain arousal study
This study looks at how your brain becomes aware of things—like sounds and images—by measuring pupil size and brain activity. Healthy people may have an MRI; epilepsy patients with special brain electrodes already implanted can also join a part of the study.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 13 years+ - NCT00575081Recruiting
Brain mapping during stereotactic procedures
This study builds a “brain atlas” by collecting information during stereotactic brain procedures. It may help doctors better plan and understand these brain procedures in the future.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 6–90 - NCT06443463Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety of BHV-7000 in epilepsy
This study checks the long-term safety of BHV-7000 for people who already completed an earlier trial with this drug. You keep taking the same medicine while doctors watch for any side effects over time.

What taking part in a epilepsy study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there epilepsy clinical trials in Tennessee?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting epilepsy studies with a site in Tennessee, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a epilepsy study in Tennessee?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Tennessee to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Tennessee, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a epilepsy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
