5-sense score validation for epilepsy surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is for people with epilepsy who are being considered for brain surgery but cannot have a direct surgical approach. It tests a new scoring method (5-SENSE) that uses non-invasive tests like MRI and EEG to see if it can help doctors make better surgery decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 15 years or older
- Doctors cannot offer direct brain surgery and are discussing your case in a team meeting
- You have had a complete non-invasive presurgical work-up including an MRI and video-EEG that recorded at least one of your usual seizures
- You did not have your MRI or EEG at another center
- You have not had subdural or grid electrodes placed

This study uses electrodes placed in the brain to record brain activity for about 2 weeks with EEG monitoring. It helps doctors decide whether you may benefit from surgery to remove the seizure-causing brain area.
This study uses a special, detailed brain-mapping technique (called high-resolution electrical source imaging) to see how well it can predict success after epilepsy surgery in children. It aims to help doctors decide which children might benefit most from surgery.
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 trial tests a new flexible brain sensor to help guide surgery for people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. It aims to find exactly where seizures start so surgeons can remove that area safely.
This trial uses special MRI scans to create a detailed map of the brain areas causing seizures, helping doctors plan SEEG surgery. It's for people with hard-to-control epilepsy who are already scheduled for SEEG.
This study is looking at how well a procedure called SEEG thermocoagulation (a way to stop seizures by heating a small area of brain tissue) works for people with epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication. By joining, you will help doctors understand why this treatment works for some people and not others.
