Study of brain signals in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at EEG brain recordings in people with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, especially those whose seizures started between ages 10 and 25. It may help researchers better understand how this epilepsy works and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
- Your seizure/muscle jerks started between ages 10 and 25
- Your early seizures are mainly early-morning jerks of the arms (or only those jerks)
- Your EEG shows generalized spike or polyspike-and-wave patterns, with a normal overall background
- You are currently age 10 to 40
- Your jerks are not only caused by taking carbamazepine or lamotrigine

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new capsule, JZP926, to see if it reduces myoclonic seizures in people with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). It may offer a new treatment option if you have at least 4 myoclonic seizure days per month and meet other criteria.
This study looks at genetic factors and brain electrical activity in children whose seizures are difficult to control with standard medicines. It also involves exams like MRI and possibly procedures under anesthesia, to better understand seizure causes and help future care.
This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
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.
This study uses MRI and a special EEG to understand brain connections in people with specific types of epilepsy or genetic conditions like Angelman syndrome and Dup15q. It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.
This study is observing how the brain's connections and activity work in people with epilepsy. It uses MRI scans and EEG recordings to learn more about the condition, which may help improve future treatments.
