Brain stimulation study for adults with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses advanced brain monitoring and noninvasive magnetic stimulation to understand how repetitive brain stimulation works in people with epilepsy who are already scheduled for hospital monitoring. It may help develop better treatments for seizures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults 18 to 65 years old
- Have difficult-to-control seizures that require a hospital stay with brain monitoring
- Able to understand the study and give consent
- No other major brain disorders besides epilepsy
- No metal implants or devices that prevent MRI scans

This study tests if a type of brain stimulation (TMS) can improve brain function in people with depression. It also includes a small group of epilepsy patients who are already having brain monitoring. The goal is to find new ways to treat depression by targeting specific brain areas.
This study uses an invasive approach (placement of brain monitoring/stimulation) to better understand how the brain processes reward in depression. It may help researchers develop more targeted treatments in the future.
This study uses a special type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to measure how well epilepsy medications are working in adults with epilepsy.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique during routine epilepsy monitoring to see if it can help reduce seizures. It may offer a new way to manage epilepsy without surgery.
This trial tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that isn't helped by current treatments. It uses a non-invasive method that may offer a new option for controlling seizures.
This study looks at how brain networks relate to mood and depression by recording brain activity during specific procedures. You may be able to join if you’re already having brain monitoring for epilepsy or are part of a depression deep brain stimulation program.
