brain wave study in children with seizures and other conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) to look at brain activity in children with conditions like seizures, brain tumors, autism, and others. It may help doctors learn more about how these conditions affect the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 1 month and 18 years old.
- You have epilepsy (seizures), a brain tumor, a blood vessel problem in the brain, autism, intellectual disability, ADHD, a tic disorder, or another neuropsychiatric condition.
- You must be able to cooperate with a MEG scan, which involves lying still in a quiet machine for a while.

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 uses advanced brain monitoring and noninvasive magnetic stimulation to understand how repetitive brain stimulation works in people with epilepsy who are already scheduled for hospital monitoring. It may help develop better treatments for seizures.
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 study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
This study measures brain activity in people with epilepsy while doctors place temporary electrodes inside the brain. It may help researchers better understand seizures and how to improve treatment.
This trial uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography) to look at brain activity in children whose seizures don't improve with medication. It may help doctors decide if surgery could be an option.
