Sleep-sensitive seizure risk test with wearable EEG
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a comfortable headband to track your sleep and brain activity. It may help better understand when seizures are likely to happen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least 2 seizures every week (based on your doctor's notes).
- Your seizure medications will stay the same during the study.
- You have a bedpartner or caregiver who can watch for seizures.
- You do not have cognitive impairment or mental health issues that affect sleep.
- You do not have sleep apnea (more than 10 breathing pauses per hour).

This study looks at how sleep patterns affect seizures in people with epilepsy who are being evaluated for surgery. By monitoring sleep and seizures in the hospital, researchers hope to better understand the link and improve care.
This study examines how seizures affect sleep quality and dreams in people with hard-to-treat focal epilepsy. Researchers will use specialized brain electrodes to understand these connections during sleep, which may help improve treatment in the future.
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 tests a new type of EEG (brain wave) sensor placed under the scalp to see if it can accurately record seizure signals during the standard monitoring you're already scheduled for. If it works well, it could lead to a less invasive way to monitor epilepsy in the future.
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.
This study looks at how electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) affects brain activity and sleep patterns in people with difficult-to-treat depression. It uses a wearable sleep monitor (the Dreem device) to record sleep while you receive ECT.
