Temporal Interference Stimulation for Epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, gentle way to stimulate specific brain areas using a special electrical signal. It aims to see if this can help people with epilepsy that hasn't improved with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that does not get better with medication.
- You do not have any other serious health problems.
- You have electrodes placed deep in your brain to monitor seizures.
- You agree to take part and sign a consent form.
- You do not have bleeding or fluid buildup under the skin where the electrodes were placed.

This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment called 'temporal interference' for people whose epilepsy seizures are not controlled by medication. It aims to reduce seizures by using low-level electrical fields to calm overactive brain cells.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation technique called TI (transcranial alternating current stimulation) can help improve sleep and reduce seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. You would stay overnight in a sleep lab to have your brain activity and sleep monitored.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses harmless electric fields to target areas deep in the brain that may be causing seizures. It is done while you are already in the hospital for epilepsy monitoring with special electrodes.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation of a small area in the brain can help reduce seizures that start in the motor part of the brain and do not respond to medication. It may be an option for people who cannot have surgery or whose surgery did not help enough.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI) for people with epilepsy that starts in the temporal lobe and is not controlled by medication. The goal is to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can reduce seizures without surgery.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation therapy (TIS) for people with temporal lobe epilepsy that hasn't responded well to seizure medications. The goal is to help reduce how often seizures happen.
