Study of social understanding in children with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with epilepsy understand social cues, compared with other children the same age. You may be asked to complete simple thinking and social tasks to see what differences exist and what they might mean.

This study uses special thinking and brain-scanning tests to understand how “social thinking” may change in people with certain types of epilepsy. You might benefit by having a detailed evaluation during your planned pre-surgery workup.
This study looks at how children and teens with autism or ADHD understand social situations. It uses games and tasks to measure social thinking skills, which may help doctors better support these kids.
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 looks at how children with autism and typically developing children understand social situations. It aims to find better ways to screen for social thinking differences in young children.
This study looks at how well epilepsy surgery works for infants and children treated at the Rothschild Foundation. It mainly depends on whether your child is already scheduled/being treated there and whether you agree to participate.
This trial studies how children with epilepsy learn and process information compared with children without brain, mental health, or learning conditions. It may help researchers understand the learning needs of children living with epilepsy.
