Mindfulness program to improve quality of life in drug-resistant epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a mindfulness training program can improve quality of life for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It looks at whether learning mindfulness skills helps you cope day-to-day alongside your usual treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have drug-resistant epilepsy (seizures that do not fully respond to medicine)
- Your epilepsy treatment has been stable for at least 3 months
- You are not planning to have epilepsy surgery
- You can take part in group sessions and understand the session topics
- You have not previously done mindfulness training or practiced mindfulness regularly

This study tests a program that combines thinking skills training, emotional support, and social guidance for adults with epilepsy. The goal is to see if this program helps improve memory, mood, and daily life.
This trial tests a type of brain training called neurofeedback (learning to control your own brain waves) to see if it helps reduce seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. If you have frequent seizures that don't respond to medications, this could be a new option to try.
This study looks at how different brain scans (like MRI, PET, and EEG) can help find the exact spot where seizures start in people whose epilepsy hasn't been controlled by medicines. It aims to better understand drug-resistant epilepsy so doctors can plan more accurate treatments.
This study tests a program that teaches people with hard-to-control epilepsy how to better manage their condition. If you have seizures that continue despite treatment, or have been seizure-free for over a year but could use more support, this program may help you learn skills to improve your daily life.
This study looks at breathing problems during seizures in people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. It aims to understand why some people stop breathing or have low oxygen during seizures, which could help prevent sudden death in epilepsy.
This study tests a wearable device that records seizure-related information to understand how epilepsy affects daily life and safety. It may help your care team better track seizures in real-world settings and understand quality-of-life changes.
