Brain signal study during movement in epilepsy patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study records brain signals from electrodes already placed in your brain for medical reasons. It looks at how your brain controls movement, which could help develop future devices for people with paralysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You already have stereoEEG electrodes placed in your brain as part of your medical care.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You can understand and follow simple instructions.
- You can see well enough to watch a computer screen.
- You can move your hand and arm without any weakness or pain.
- You do not have an active illness or a sudden worsening of a chronic condition.
- You are willing to participate and sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 tests a new way to stimulate parts of the brain involved in movement to reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that is not controlled by medications. It may help if your seizures involve muscle movements like jerking or stiffening.
This study tests a model-based way of using electrical brain stimulation in people who are having surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy or brain tumors. It uses implanted electrodes to measure brain activity and may help improve how stimulation is planned during surgical care.
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.
