Understanding infantile spasms with computer analysis of brain recordings
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at brain recordings (video EEG) from babies and children who have had infantile spasms. It uses a computer program to better understand those spasms, which may help doctors diagnose and treat them more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child had episodes of sudden muscle tightening (spasms).
- Those episodes were recorded with a video EEG while at a hospital that is part of this study.
- You or your child are covered by French social security (health insurance).
- If the patient is a child, a legal guardian must give permission to join the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 2 trial studies fenfluramine to treat infantile spasms that haven’t improved after standard medicines (ACTH and vigabatrin). If you/your child has ongoing seizures, the study may offer another treatment option and will monitor safety closely, especially heart-related side effects.
This study checks whether a special device can reliably measure muscle stiffness and spasticity (tight, overactive muscles) in children. It includes children with cerebral palsy and healthy children to compare measurements and improve accuracy.
This trial compares two types of brain stimulation—deep brain stimulation (DBS) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—to see which works better for epileptic spasms in children with drug-resistant epilepsy. If your child has not responded to two or more seizure medicines, this study might help find a new way to control their spasms.
This study looks at how the brain and spinal cord connect in children with spasticity (muscle stiffness). It will help doctors understand more about this condition by studying patients who are already scheduled for surgery to reduce stiffness.
This trial tests whether a computer system can help doctors diagnose epilepsy more accurately by analyzing EEG (brain wave) recordings in children. It may be an option if your child has suspected seizures.
This trial tests whether a longer course of steroids can keep infantile spasms from returning in babies who have already responded to standard treatment. It may help reduce the chance of relapse.
