Predicting seizure medication success with brain wave tests
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a brain wave test (EEG) to see if it can predict how well anti-seizure medication will work for people newly diagnosed with epilepsy. It may help doctors choose the right medication sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have had your first suspected seizure.
- You have been diagnosed with epilepsy and have decided to start anti-seizure medication.
- You have had an EEG (brain wave test) before starting the medication.
- If you are waiting to confirm epilepsy, you can join if you have had a second seizure or a positive EEG, and had an EEG within the last 12 months.
- You are not taking anti-seizure medication for other conditions like migraines.
- You are not participating in another drug trial.

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 tests a wearable device that records brain activity to predict seizures. It might help you manage your epilepsy if you have seizures at least once a day but no more than two in the last three months.
This study looks back at past EEG recordings to test a new software tool called BioEP that helps doctors assess seizure susceptibility. By joining, you can contribute to improving how doctors interpret EEG tests for people who may have epilepsy.
This trial studies a new way of analyzing EEG results to help doctors decide if a first suspected seizure was caused by epilepsy. If you had a first seizure and your EEG did not show clear signs of epilepsy, this test might improve your diagnosis.
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 tests a new ear-worn sensor to monitor brain activity. It will see if the device is safe and easy to use for recording seizures. Healthy volunteers and people with suspected seizures are both needed.
