Focused ultrasound treatment during EEG monitoring for ongoing seizures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a focused ultrasound treatment can change brain electrical activity seen on an EEG in people with ongoing seizure emergencies. It may help doctors learn safer ways to modulate seizure activity when standard medicines are not fully stopping it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an ongoing seizure emergency called nonconvulsive or focal status epilepticus, even after at least 2 seizure medicines
- You are in an ICU with continuous scalp EEG monitoring (stick-on electrodes on the head)
- A legally authorized representative can sign an informed consent form for you
- You do not have an implanted brain device used to treat epilepsy
- You are not pregnant
- In the last 24 hours, you have not started another investigational drug or procedure

This pilot study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound can reduce seizures in adults whose temporal lobe epilepsy hasn’t improved with at least two anti-seizure medicines. You may be asked to track seizure timing and undergo brain imaging before and during the study.
This study tests a non-invasive focused ultrasound treatment for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. The goal is to see if this gentle ultrasound can reduce seizures without surgery.
This trial tests a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment aimed at reducing seizures caused by problems in one side of the hippocampus (a brain area involved in memory and seizures). It’s for people whose seizures have not responded to several seizure medicines and who have been offered a specific type of surgery.
This study tests if low-intensity focused ultrasound can calm overactive brain areas in people with epilepsy. It may offer a new way to reduce seizures without surgery or strong medications.
This study tests a new device called NaviFUS that uses focused sound waves to gently stimulate a small area of the brain. It is for people whose seizures start in one part of the brain and are not fully controlled by seizure medicines.
This trial tests a low-intensity focused ultrasound device that aims to calm overactive brain areas causing seizures. It's for people whose seizures are not controlled by medication.
