Adjusting deep brain stimulator settings for hard-to-control seizures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This early-phase study tests whether changing your deep brain stimulator settings can improve seizure control in people whose epilepsy is not helped by usual treatments. It is mainly for patients who already have the stimulator placed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that has not responded to standard treatments
- You already have a deep brain stimulator (DBS) device in place
- Your study team does not consider you to have severe dementia

This study compares two ways of adjusting the settings for deep brain stimulation (a treatment for Parkinson's disease). One way uses standard clinical methods; the other uses special biological markers to guide the settings. The goal is to find which method works better for controlling symptoms.
This study tests a new way of using deep brain stimulation (like a pacemaker for the brain) to help control Parkinson's symptoms. It may help improve movement and quality of life for people living with Parkinson's disease.
This study compares two ways of using deep brain stimulation (DBS) — an adjustable ‘adaptive’ version that changes with your brain signals, versus the standard continuous setting. It aims to see which works better for people with Parkinson's disease who already have a specific type of DBS device.
This study aims to find the best settings for brain stimulation devices already implanted in patients with epilepsy. It may help improve seizure control by adjusting how the device works.
This study is testing a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings to improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have DBS and can walk with stimulation off, this trial may help fine-tune your treatment to improve your gait.
This early-phase study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve posture, walking, and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you already have DBS in place, the trial uses computer-based planning to try different DBS directions and settings to see what helps you most.
