Cerebellum magnetic stimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment that targets the cerebellum to help reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that hasn't improved with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Have drug-resistant epilepsy (seizures not controlled by medicine)
- Have had drug-resistant epilepsy for at least 2 years
- Have at least 2 seizures per month (on average) in the last 3 months
- Be able to undergo the stimulation treatment safely (no metal implants in head, no history of seizures triggered by magnetic fields, etc.)

This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) to target the cerebellum in people with Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if this treatment can improve symptoms and cognitive function.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS for people with drug-resistant epilepsy that starts in one part of the brain. It aims to reduce seizures in those who cannot have surgery or have not been helped by surgery.
This trial tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that isn't helped by current treatments. It uses a non-invasive method that may offer a new option for controlling seizures.
This study uses a special type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to measure how well epilepsy medications are working in adults with epilepsy.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called cTBS (continuous theta burst stimulation) applied to a specific part of the brain (the precuneus) to see if it helps with treatment-resistant depression. It aims to provide a new option for people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (given as pulses to two brain areas) to help reduce shaking from essential tremor. It is for people whose tremor hasn't improved enough with standard medications.
