Flexible brain electrodes for epilepsy surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is testing new flexible brain electrodes during epilepsy surgery. These electrodes may help doctors map brain activity better than standard rigid ones. If you are having surgery for epilepsy caused by a brain lesion, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have epilepsy caused by a lesion (a small area of brain damage) that can be treated with surgery.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.
- Your planned surgery will not use only awake brain mapping or disconnect brain areas.
- You are not taking blood thinners that cannot be stopped for surgery and have no bleeding disorders.
- You are not currently in another study for an investigational device.
- You understand Dutch well enough to follow instructions.

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 study looks at brain activity using electrodes placed inside the brain in people with focal, drug-resistant epilepsy before surgery. It may help doctors better map where seizures start and improve planning for treatment.
This study tests a new, softer brain electrode that is placed during surgery to help doctors monitor brain activity. It is for people having brain surgery for a tumour or epilepsy, and aims to improve how these electrodes work while being safer and less invasive.
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 uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
This study looks at brain wave recordings taken during awake brain surgery for diffuse glioma. The goal is to better understand and protect important brain functions during tumor removal. If you are already scheduled for awake brain surgery with ECoG monitoring, you may be able to take part.
