Sleep study for children with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a sleep improvement program using a clinic and a smartwatch-like device for children ages 1.5 to 9 with epilepsy. It aims to help kids sleep better, which may improve their seizure control and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1.5 and 9 years old and has epilepsy.
- You (the parent) can read and understand Chinese well enough to take part in the study and fill out forms.
- Your child is not bedridden.
- Your child does not have a known sleep disorder like sleep apnea or restless legs.
- Your child does not have severe movement problems that would prevent using a watch-like tracker to measure sleep.

This trial tests whether music can improve sleep in children with epilepsy. It may help if your child has trouble sleeping and you can answer questionnaires in Chinese.
This study tests whether a home exercise program (via a phone app) can help children with epilepsy think better, sleep better, and feel better overall. Researchers will measure brain function and fitness to see if the exercises make a difference.
This trial studies whether carefully timed sound (“auditory stimulation”) can change sleep patterns and memory in people with epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how to improve thinking and memory by adjusting how the brain sleeps.
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 looks at how sleep affects memory in children with certain types of age-related focal epilepsy. It compares them to children hospitalized for non-nerve (non-neurologic) reasons to see whether sleep-related brain patterns relate to learning and memory.
This study uses a comfortable headband to track your sleep and brain activity. It may help better understand when seizures are likely to happen.
