Epilepsy screening and evaluation for people 8 and older
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at using brain surgery to treat epilepsy that does not improve with usual medicines, or epilepsy caused by a brain tumor. It may help some people reduce seizures if surgery is appropriate for their situation.
This study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
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.
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 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.
This study looks at healthy aging in people with epilepsy. You will fill out a survey to help researchers understand your experiences and needs.
