Testing seizure medicine in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies how seizure (epilepsy) medicines work in people age 65 and older. If you have epilepsy and are already taking seizure medication, you may be able to join to help researchers learn what to expect from these treatments in older adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with epilepsy (a seizure condition).
- You are currently taking seizure medication (antiepileptic drugs).
- You do not have a known allergy to seizure medications.
- You are not expected to die within the next 48 hours.
- You are not taking other experimental (investigational) drugs right now.

This study looks at how anti-cancer (chemotherapy) drugs are used in adults age 65+ who have cancer. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best and are safest for older adults.
This study looks at healthy aging in people with epilepsy. You will fill out a survey to help researchers understand your experiences and needs.
This study looks at what happens when people with epilepsy stop their seizure medications. The goal is to see if it's safe to stop after being seizure-free for a while, and to help patients and doctors make better decisions.
This study looks at whether checking and treating heart and blood vessel risk factors can help people who start having seizures after age 50. It includes two parts: one that adds a risk check to your regular care, and one that uses your medical records to learn more about this condition.
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.
This trial uses detailed brain tests to better match people with epilepsy to the right treatment. It may help by using “precision medicine” methods to understand what in the brain is driving seizures.
