Brain connections study for certain epilepsies and genetic syndromes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses MRI and a special EEG to understand brain connections in people with specific types of epilepsy or genetic conditions like Angelman syndrome and Dup15q. It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with focal or generalized epilepsy, Angelman syndrome, or Dup15q.
- You are between 6 and 75 years old.
- You have had at least one brain MRI with a special 3D scan.
- You have had a high-density EEG recording with 128 channels.
- You are able to complete a thinking and memory test.

This study is observing how the brain's connections and activity work in people with epilepsy. It uses MRI scans and EEG recordings to learn more about the condition, which may help improve future treatments.
This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
This study looks at how brain connections work in people with drug-resistant partial epilepsy by analyzing signals from implanted electrodes done before surgery. It may help doctors better understand epilepsy and improve future pre-surgical evaluation.
This study looks at how the brain and body coordination work in people with epilepsy whose seizures do not fully respond to seizure medicines. Some participants may be people who are being evaluated for a possible epilepsy surgery because tests suggest they could benefit.
This study uses PET, MRI, and EEG scans to learn more about epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how the brain works in people with epilepsy and in healthy volunteers.
This study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
