Anxiety and memory study for temporal lobe epilepsy patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This research study looks at how anxiety and memory work in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. It uses brain recordings to better understand these conditions, which might lead to better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have known or suspected temporal lobe epilepsy.
- You are a native or fluent speaker of English or Spanish.
- If you have a specific type of brain monitoring (sEEG), your implant plan must include electrodes in key memory areas of the brain.
- You can read at a 7th grade level or above.
- You do not have serious hearing or vision problems that cannot be corrected.
- You do not have a current anxiety disorder, major depression, bipolar disorder, or a history of certain treatments or psychotic disorders.
- You do not have significant brain damage, active HIV or cancer, or severe kidney disease.

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 looks at how your brain becomes aware of things—like sounds and images—by measuring pupil size and brain activity. Healthy people may have an MRI; epilepsy patients with special brain electrodes already implanted can also join a part of the study.
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 places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
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.
