Play therapy for kids with specific epilepsy types
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a play-based cognitive behavioral therapy can help children ages 6 to 10 with certain types of epilepsy. It may offer a new way to support their emotional and behavioral well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation method (transcranial electrical stimulation) to reduce seizures in children with hard-to-control partial epilepsy. It aims to find the best stimulation spot and settings for each patient by using advanced brain scans.
This trial uses detailed brain tests to better match people with epilepsy to the right treatment. It may help by using “precision medicine” methods to understand what in the brain is driving seizures.
This study tests a program called Epilepsy Journey to help teenagers with epilepsy improve skills like planning, organizing, and staying on task. It is designed for teens who struggle with these thinking skills and live at home with a caregiver.
This study looks at how children with epilepsy process sensory information (like touch, sound, and movement). It may help find better ways to support your child's daily functioning and comfort.
This study tests whether a special exercise program, done at home with a mobile app, can improve your child's thinking, memory, sleep, and daily functioning.
This study looks at why some children with epilepsy do not get better even with treatment. By joining, you can help doctors find better ways to identify and care for children whose seizures are hard to control.
