Brain recordings during SEEG in children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study takes extra recordings from the brain during a routine SEEG procedure in children with epilepsy to learn more about how the brain works. It may help improve future epilepsy surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for SEEG brain monitoring at Great Ormond Street Hospital as part of their epilepsy surgery planning.
- You and your child (if they are able) agree to take part and sign a consent form.

This study maps how thinking and memory work by recording brain signals during a presurgical epilepsy workup. It may help doctors better understand drug-resistant focal epilepsy and improve how they plan treatment.
This study uses a safe brain scan (MEG) to help doctors plan epilepsy surgery for children. It aims to make surgery safer and more precise by mapping key brain areas beforehand.
This study tests how well a specific brain-recording device works during a procedure used to map seizure origins in people with drug-resistant, disabling focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan treatment by improving how well they can localize the seizure focus before possible surgery.
This study is looking at how well a procedure called SEEG thermocoagulation (a way to stop seizures by heating a small area of brain tissue) works for people with epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication. By joining, you will help doctors understand why this treatment works for some people and not others.
This study looks at whether a special brain-recording procedure for difficult-to-control seizures changes a person’s memory, thinking, or other brain skills afterward. It may help doctors understand risks and plan care for people undergoing the procedure.
This study uses a special, detailed brain-mapping technique (called high-resolution electrical source imaging) to see how well it can predict success after epilepsy surgery in children. It aims to help doctors decide which children might benefit most from surgery.
