Home EEG monitoring for rare epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests using a small, home-based EEG device to monitor brain activity over several weeks in people with hard-to-control seizures, rare epilepsies, or developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. The goal is to see if this method can better track seizures and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 12 years (with or without intellectual disabilities)
- Have a diagnosis of drug-resistant seizures, a rare epilepsy, or a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy
- Have had at least one seizure type identified through prior medical history
- Be available for the full study (about 3 months)

This study looks at how well two devices that measure brain activity work in children with certain types of epilepsy. It aims to improve how doctors monitor and care for these children.
This study tests a new type of EEG (brain wave) sensor placed under the scalp to see if it can accurately record seizure signals during the standard monitoring you're already scheduled for. If it works well, it could lead to a less invasive way to monitor epilepsy in the future.
This study tests a new “hybrid” type of electrodes placed inside the brain to better map where seizures start in people with difficult (drug-resistant) focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan safer and more effective surgery, though it involves an invasive brain monitoring procedure.
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 small device placed under the scalp that may help predict when seizures are likely to happen, using EEG (brain wave) readings. It is designed for people with temporal lobe epilepsy to improve seizure management and safety.
This study uses electrodes placed in the brain to record brain activity for about 2 weeks with EEG monitoring. It helps doctors decide whether you may benefit from surgery to remove the seizure-causing brain area.
