Testing ESIS for children with hard-to-treat epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial studies ESIS in children and teens (ages 1 to 30) who have epilepsy that has not been controlled by medications. It may help by improving how doctors evaluate and treat seizures, especially when an additional brain-monitoring test is planned.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that has not improved with seizure medicines
- You are between 1 and 30 years old
- Your doctor recommends you get a special brain-monitoring test called sEEG at CCHMC

This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation method (transcranial electrical stimulation) to reduce seizures in children with hard-to-control partial epilepsy. It aims to find the best stimulation spot and settings for each patient by using advanced brain scans.
This study tests how well a specific brain-recording device works during a procedure used to map seizure origins in people with drug-resistant, disabling focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan treatment by improving how well they can localize the seizure focus before possible surgery.
This study looks at whether a special brain-recording procedure for difficult-to-control seizures changes a person’s memory, thinking, or other brain skills afterward. It may help doctors understand risks and plan care for people undergoing the procedure.
This study checks whether a new type of EEG recording (a brain wave test) can detect seizure activity in people with epilepsy. You may join if you are already scheduled for routine and video EEG testing (and possibly inpatient monitoring) as part of your clinical care, including a brain MRI.
This trial tests a new device to help diagnose epilepsy in people whose previous EEG brain monitoring did not give clear answers. If you have drug-resistant epilepsy with at least one seizure a month on average, this study may help find better treatment options.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (temporal interference) to help reduce seizures in adults whose epilepsy has not been controlled by medication. You may be able to join if you are already scheduled for a monitoring procedure called stereo-EEG (sEEG).
