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 “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 tests a new minimally invasive device that helps doctors monitor brain activity during surgery for brain tumors or epilepsy. The device uses soft electrodes placed on the brain's surface to help surgeons work more safely and precisely.
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 how to map brain function in people having epilepsy surgery by recording brain signals using special electrodes placed on or inside the brain. It may help doctors better understand which brain areas cause seizures.
