Brain activity study during treatment for epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures brain activity in people with epilepsy while doctors place temporary electrodes inside the brain. It may help researchers better understand seizures and how to improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have epilepsy and are having electrodes placed inside your brain
- You can understand what will happen and give informed consent
- You are not pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
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 looks at how to map brain function in people having epilepsy surgery by recording brain signals using special electrodes placed on or inside the brain. It may help doctors better understand which brain areas cause seizures.
This study tests a new “hybrid” type of electrodes placed inside the brain to better map where seizures start in people with difficult (drug-resistant) focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan safer and more effective surgery, though it involves an invasive brain monitoring procedure.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique during routine epilepsy monitoring to see if it can help reduce seizures. It may offer a new way to manage epilepsy without surgery.
This study listens to brain activity in people with epilepsy who already need electrodes placed inside the brain. Researchers want to understand how different parts of the brain respond while you complete simple thinking and memory-related tasks, which may help improve future treatments.
