Attention changes after a seizure in epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how attention and concentration change right after a seizure in people with epilepsy. It uses a short hospital stay to track these changes, which may help improve understanding and future treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have focal epilepsy (seizures starting in one part of the brain) and are scheduled for a 5-day hospital stay for pre-surgery tests.
- You have normal thinking and memory skills for your age (based on a simple test).
- You are covered by French social security.
- You can give your own consent to join the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study examines how the brain recognizes spatial scenes (like rooms or landscapes) in people with epilepsy who may have surgery. Researchers want to understand memory patterns before and after surgery to help predict outcomes.
This study tests an intensive pre-surgery speech rehabilitation program for people whose seizures come from the language-related area in the temporal part of the brain. The goal is to improve speech outcomes before planned epilepsy surgery.
This study looks at brain activity using electrodes placed inside the brain in people with focal, drug-resistant epilepsy before surgery. It may help doctors better map where seizures start and improve planning for treatment.
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 looks at how people recover after a prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) in the intensive care unit. It tests thinking and memory skills, and may include a follow-up MRI, to learn more about the brain's healing process.
This study looks at how sleep and memory work together in people with epilepsy. You will stay in the hospital for at least 4 days with a video EEG to record your brain activity while you sleep and complete memory tasks.
