Brain wave study for hard-to-treat epilepsy surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at special brain wave patterns called "fast-ripples" to help doctors better plan surgery for epilepsy that doesn't get better with medicine. It may improve how surgeons decide where to operate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that does not improve with medication (drug-resistant epilepsy)
- Your seizures start in one area of the brain (focal epilepsy)
- Your doctor has already decided you need a procedure called SEEG (where tiny electrodes are placed in the brain to find where seizures start)
- You agree to let the researchers use your medical data for this study
- You are covered by the French healthcare system

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new “hybrid” type of electrodes placed inside the brain to better map where seizures start in people with difficult (drug-resistant) focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan safer and more effective surgery, though it involves an invasive brain monitoring procedure.
This study looks at brain wave patterns during epilepsy surgery preparation. It aims to better understand how seizures start, which may help improve future treatments.
This trial looks at whether brief electrical pulses can help identify and change unusual brain wave patterns in people with hard-to-treat epilepsy. It may help improve how doctors map the brain before 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 trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
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.
