Study linking brain signals to anxiety in people with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain electrical signals relate to anxiety symptoms in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It compares people who do (or do not) meet criteria for generalized anxiety disorder, to better understand anxiety in this setting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have drug-resistant epilepsy and are already having a pre-surgery check using stereo-EEG (intracerebral electrical recording).
- You either meet criteria for generalized anxiety disorder on the DSM-5, or you do not (the study includes both groups for comparison).
- Your thinking/understanding score is high enough (WAIS IV full score above 75 or another reading score above 81).
- You can sign informed consent yourself and aren’t under legal protection (no guardianship/curatorship/judicial protection).

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 looks at brain wave patterns during epilepsy surgery preparation. It aims to better understand how seizures start, which may help improve future treatments.
This research study looks at how anxiety and memory work in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. It uses brain recordings to better understand these conditions, which might lead to better treatments in the future.
This study uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
This study looks at brain activity using electrodes placed inside the brain in people with focal, drug-resistant epilepsy before surgery. It may help doctors better map where seizures start and improve planning for treatment.
This research studies how the brain controls breathing in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers use special electrodes placed in your brain during surgery to map these connections and better understand seizures.
