Temporal interference therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 60 years old.
- Your epilepsy does not get better with medications (drug-resistant epilepsy).
- You have at least 2 seizures each month that affect your daily life.
- You do not have any metal implants in your head (except a stable vagal nerve stimulator).
- You do not have other serious health problems like bleeding disorders, severe depression, dementia, or a progressive brain disease.

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.
This study tests whether a gentle magnetic device applied overnight can help reduce seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. You'll stay in a sleep lab for one night while we monitor your brain waves and sleep.
This pilot study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound can reduce seizures in adults whose temporal lobe epilepsy hasn’t improved with at least two anti-seizure medicines. You may be asked to track seizure timing and undergo brain imaging before and during the study.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique during routine epilepsy monitoring to see if it can help reduce seizures. It may offer a new way to manage epilepsy without surgery.
This study tests a new way to treat seizures that start in the temporal lobe using special electrical signals that focus on the seizure area without surgery. It may help reduce seizures in people whose seizures don't stop with medicine.
This trial tests a brain stimulation treatment for people with temporal lobe epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication. The goal is to see if it can reduce seizures.
