Testing PRAX-628 for focal or tonic-clonic seizures
This study tests an experimental pill called PRAX-628 for adults whose seizures are not fully controlled by current medications. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective at reducing seizures.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07224191Recruiting
Brain wave study during memory tasks
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT07226908Enrolling by invitation
Brain electrode study for epilepsy and memory
This study places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06883981Recruiting
Studying memory formation with everyday recordings
This study uses recordings of your everyday life to understand how people form personal memories. It may help if you have healthy memory or just mild memory changes.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 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 - NCT07190976Recruiting
EEG monitoring for stroke patients
This study uses EEG (a harmless brain wave test) to monitor stroke patients in the hospital. It aims to learn more about brain activity after a stroke, which could help improve care.
Chaïdári, AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT07156201RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of oral ABS-1230 in healthy adults
This trial tests a new oral medication called ABS-1230 in healthy people to see how safe it is and how the body processes it. You would take either the drug or a placebo (no active ingredient) and be monitored closely.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–55 - NCT06958341Recruiting
Brain and nerve disease registry with optional fluid collection
This study collects extra fluid from a spinal tap to learn more about brain and nerve diseases. It may help find better treatments in the future.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges Any age - NCT07116330Recruiting
Seizures starting after 50: testing heart and blood vessel risk
This study looks at whether checking and treating heart and blood vessel risk factors can help people who start having seizures after age 50. It includes two parts: one that adds a risk check to your regular care, and one that uses your medical records to learn more about this condition.
BoråsAges 50 years+ - NCT07110688Recruiting
Brain sensing study for mental states
This trial uses sensors and machine learning to understand mental states in healthy adults and people with epilepsy. Researchers aim to improve how we monitor and support mental health.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06772194Recruiting
Taiwan Recovery After Stroke Study
This study looks at how people recover after a stroke. Researchers will check your thinking, memory, and daily function over a year to learn more about recovery patterns and help design better treatments.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07096414Recruiting
Vitamin D3 and brain waves in men with epilepsy and low vitamin D
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D3 supplements changes brain wave activity in men with epilepsy who also have low vitamin D levels. It aims to see if vitamin D could help improve brain function.
Dhaka, Shahbag, DhakaAges 20–40 - NCT07088835Recruiting
Safety study of ear-worn seizure monitor
This study tests a new ear-worn sensor to monitor brain activity. It will see if the device is safe and easy to use for recording seizures. Healthy volunteers and people with suspected seizures are both needed.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT07085598Recruiting
Vitamin D3 for heart nerve health in men with epilepsy
This study tests whether taking vitamin D3 supplements can improve how well the nerves controlling your heart work in men with epilepsy who have low vitamin D levels. If you have low vitamin D from taking certain epilepsy medicines, this trial may help understand if vitamin D can support your heart health.
Dhaka, ShahbagAges 20–40 - NCT07046676RecruitingPhase 4
Using genetics to personalize valproate treatment for epilepsy
This trial studies how a person's genes affect their response to the epilepsy drug valproate. The goal is to find the best dose for each patient to improve seizure control and reduce side effects.
Hengyang, HunanAges Any age - NCT07041619Recruiting
New stimulation implant trial for epilepsy
This trial tests a new type of stimulation placed under the skin to help control seizures in people with epilepsy. It is for patients whose seizures are not controlled with medication and who cannot have surgery.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT06590896RecruitingPhase 2
Safety of cenobamate for Japanese adults with partial seizures
This trial studies the safety of cenobamate for Japanese people who have partial onset seizures and have already finished a previous study of the same drug. It helps doctors learn more about long-term safety.
EhimeAges Any age - NCT06978842Recruiting
Seizure prediction study with a wearable EEG headband
This study tests a wearable device that records brain activity to predict seizures. It might help you manage your epilepsy if you have seizures at least once a day but no more than two in the last three months.
HaifaAges 12 years+ - NCT06975800Recruiting
How social feedback affects brain waves
This study looks at how getting feedback from others affects brain activity. Researchers will measure your brain waves while you do simple tasks, which may help us understand how social signals work in the brain.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for epilepsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 328 recruiting epilepsy 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 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 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.
