A device to prevent sudden death in epilepsy during seizures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a wearable device can detect dangerous body positions during seizures to help prevent sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). It may help if you have epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have epilepsy that hasn't been controlled by at least two different medications
- You have had seizures recorded by brain wave tests (EEG) in the past

This study tests a wearable ear device that may help detect seizures during your stay in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit. It aims to see if the device can work alongside standard monitoring to improve seizure detection.
This study tests a wearable device that records brain activity to predict seizures. It might help you manage your epilepsy if you have seizures at least once a day but no more than two in the last three months.
This research studies how the brain controls breathing in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers use special electrodes placed in your brain during surgery to map these connections and better understand seizures.
This study measures how sensitive your brain is to higher carbon dioxide levels to learn more about sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). You may be invited because you have epilepsy and are having evaluation at a specialized epilepsy unit or clinic.
This study tests a new ear-worn sensor to monitor brain activity. It will see if the device is safe and easy to use for recording seizures. Healthy volunteers and people with suspected seizures are both needed.
This trial tests a new implanted device that detects and stops seizures before they spread. It is for people with difficult-to-control focal seizures who have not had success with medicines.
