Brain wave study for epilepsy with electrodes
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This research study looks at how certain brain waves (called theta oscillations) help you focus and prioritize information. If you have epilepsy that hasn't been controlled with medicines and you already have brain electrodes in place for your epilepsy monitoring, you may be able to join this study to help scientists understand the role of these brain signals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that hasn't improved with standard medications.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study by signing a consent form.
- You speak and understand English.
- For the stimulation part of the study, you must have electrodes already placed in specific areas of your brain.
- You do not have other serious brain conditions (like a recent stroke, brain bleed, or brain tumor), major body illnesses, severe memory or thinking problems, severe mental health conditions, or a history of heavy alcohol/drug use.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 study places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
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 study looks at brain wave activity in areas that control movement, both in people with Parkinson's disease who already have deep brain stimulation electrodes and in people with epilepsy who are undergoing brain monitoring with stereo-EEG. The goal is to understand how brain signals change during normal movement and in movement problems, which may help improve 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.
