This study tests a seizure-prevention medicine called perampanel for people whose hearts stopped beating (cardiac arrest) and are now in the ICU. The goal is to see if it helps prevent seizures that can happen after such an event.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT04204863Recruiting
Study of adults treated for a prolonged seizure emergency
This study looks at adults who had a serious, long-lasting seizure emergency called status epilepticus. It aims to better understand what happened and may help improve care for similar patients in the future.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT04559919Recruiting
Building a regional database for people with epilepsy
This study collects information about adults who have had an unprovoked seizure or who have epilepsy. The goal is to better understand epilepsy in the community and improve future care.
BoråsAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05140265Recruiting
Uses EEG and medical records to build a privacy-protected database
This study creates a large, de-identified database by combining EEG test recordings with basic clinical information from medical records. It helps researchers use brain-wave data for future research while protecting your identity.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT05263674RecruitingPhase 3
Faster ICU treatment for non-convulsive seizures in adults
This study compares two ways to stop non-convulsive seizures in the ICU. It tests whether fast sedation in intensive care works better than giving higher-dose anti-seizure medicine through a vein.
AarhusAges 18–120 - NCT05289934Recruiting
Recorded music to see how it affects seizures
This study is testing whether listening to recorded music can change seizure activity and brain-wave patterns in children monitored in an epilepsy center. Your child might benefit by helping researchers learn how music could affect seizures during close observation.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 4–17 - NCT05459597Recruiting
Testing seizure medicine in older adults
This trial studies how seizure (epilepsy) medicines work in people age 65 and older. If you have epilepsy and are already taking seizure medication, you may be able to join to help researchers learn what to expect from these treatments in older adults.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65–100 - NCT05518578RecruitingPhase 2
Drug trial for hard-to-control focal epilepsy with brain scar
This Phase 2 trial tests SPN-817 in adults whose seizures are still not well controlled despite trying multiple seizure medicines. It targets people with a specific type of brain finding called focal cortical dysplasia and looks at safety/tolerability and seizure outcomes over several weeks.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT05761756Recruiting
