Test medicine to change brain rhythms and study memory
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This early research study tests whether a medicine can change the brain’s electrical “rhythms” while people do memory-related tasks. It may help researchers understand how brain timing affects memory in people who are already being evaluated with specialized brain electrode monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- Your usual care doctor is planning a pre-surgery visit and you may be admitted to an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) with brain electrodes.
- You can read, understand, and sign consent papers in writing.
- You are generally in good health (except epilepsy) based on exam, labs, and an ECG, and your BMI is 18–35.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and pregnancy testing at screening will be required.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a medication called COBENFY (trospium chloride) can improve memory and brain wave activity in adults with epilepsy who are already scheduled for brain surgery with electrodes. It aims to see if enhancing a brain chemical called acetylcholine helps with memory and seizure focus.
This study tests whether giving a drug that affects brain chemistry during brain surgery can improve thinking and attention for people with essential tremor or epilepsy. If you qualify, you might receive the drug or a placebo during your electrode placement surgery to see how it affects your cognition.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
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 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 tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference to help people with epilepsy that hasn't responded well to medications. Researchers want to see if this approach can reduce seizures and improve thinking or memory problems.
