Recruiting studies
- NCT03822741Recruiting
Seizure causes and treatments in newborns and infants
This study looks at what causes certain serious seizures that start early in life, and how to treat them. It may help doctors better match treatments to the seizure cause in newborns and young infants.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 1 year - NCT03233399Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for movement intention and symptoms
This trial tests how a form of brain stimulation affects how people plan or carry out movement, and how symptoms show up on tasks. It may help researchers understand why symptoms happen and whether brain stimulation can change movement intention or related brain signals.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT06581302Recruiting
Magnetic seizure therapy for psychotic disorders
This trial tests magnetic seizure therapy (MST) as a treatment for people with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. It aims to see if MST can help reduce symptoms like hallucinations or delusions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT06388707RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ultrasound brain stimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy
This trial tests a low-intensity focused ultrasound device that aims to calm overactive brain areas causing seizures. It's for people whose seizures are not controlled by medication.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07059325RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Quick brain stimulation for seizures caused by stress or emotional distress
This trial tests if a fast form of brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce seizures that are caused by stress or emotional triggers — not epilepsy. It's for people who have been diagnosed with functional seizures and have not gotten better with talk therapy alone.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–65 - NCT06265103Recruiting
Epilepsy learning healthcare system registry
This is a registry study that collects information from people being treated for epilepsy at participating healthcare centers. The goal is to improve care by learning from real-world patient data.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT07473648Recruiting
A trial of ECT and magnetic seizure therapy for mood disorders
This study compares two types of brain stimulation treatments—electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and magnetic seizure therapy (MST)—to see which works better for people with certain mental health conditions. It may be an option if you have a mood disorder or vision problems that could be helped by these treatments.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 12–80 - NCT03492060Recruiting
Study of genetic variants in neurogenetic disorders over time
This study looks at how people’s genetic test results relate to health changes over time in conditions caused by gene differences. If you already have genetic confirmation of a disease-causing variant, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - 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 - NCT07533773Recruiting
Brain Activity Changes After Depression Treatment
This study measures how brain activity in specific regions changes after you receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or magnetic seizure therapy (MST) for severe depression. Researchers use a non-invasive headband to monitor blood flow in your brain before and after treatment to better understand how these therapies work.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 12–65 - NCT06426615Recruiting
Understanding brain signals in unresponsive states after injury
This study looks at brain activity in people who are unresponsive after a brain injury. It uses advanced brain scans to see if there are hidden signs of consciousness, which could help doctors better understand and care for these patients.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06672588Recruiting
Magnetic seizure therapy for schizophrenia
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called magnetic seizure therapy (MST) for people with schizophrenia who haven't gotten better with standard medicines. The goal is to see if MST can help reduce symptoms like hallucinations or confusion.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04080778Recruiting
Magnetic seizure treatment for severe bipolar or hard-to-treat depression
This trial studies whether a seizure-like therapy using magnet stimulation can quickly reduce severe depressive symptoms in people with bipolar depression or treatment-resistant depression. It may help when depression is intense and hasn’t improved enough with at least two antidepressant medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 22–85 - NCT07534475Recruiting
Tourniquet Type for Monitoring Brain Activity During ECT
This study compares two types of arm tourniquets (blood-pressure cuffs) used during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to help doctors monitor seizure activity more accurately. ECT is a treatment for severe depression and other psychiatric conditions, and tourniquets help track how well the treatment is working.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT05594017RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test medicine to change brain rhythms and study memory
This early research study tests whether a medicine can change the brain’s electrical “rhythms” while people do memory-related tasks. It may help researchers understand how brain timing affects memory in people who are already being evaluated with specialized brain electrode monitoring.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT06448663Recruiting
Using gut health to improve seizure control in CDKL5 disorder
This study tests whether changing the gut environment can help reduce seizures in children and adults with CDKL5 deficiency disorder, a rare genetic condition that causes hard-to-control seizures. It is designed for people whose seizures aren't controlled by medicine and who do not have other gut issues or special diets.
MilanAges 3–50 - NCT06362161Recruiting
New FND treatment program and care pathway
This study is creating a new team-based treatment program for people with functional neurological disorder (FND). It tests whether a coordinated care pathway helps patients get better results from therapy and psychiatry.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 8–89 - 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 - NCT06529029RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing new low-pulse ECT to standard ECT for depression
This trial tests a new type of seizure therapy (low amplitude pulse seizure therapy) against the standard ultra-brief right unilateral ECT for people with severe depression, including those with suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see which treatment works better.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18–90 - NCT03478852Recruiting
Epilepsy screening and evaluation for people 8 and older
This study checks how people with known or suspected epilepsy are evaluated and followed. It may help by improving screening and understanding care for epilepsy in children and adults.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–110 - NCT07167732Recruiting
CTNNB1 Syndrome Natural History Study
This study follows people with CTNNB1 syndrome over time to better understand the condition. It does not test any new treatment—just collects information to help future research.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for seizure disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting seizure disorder 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 seizure disorder 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 seizure disorder 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.
