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 is testing a wearable EEG device that you can use at home for up to 30 days. It records brain activity to help doctors better understand your seizures. The goal is to see if this longer monitoring can capture more seizure events than standard short-term EEG tests.
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 study tests how well a specific brain-recording device works during a procedure used to map seizure origins in people with drug-resistant, disabling focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan treatment by improving how well they can localize the seizure focus before possible surgery.
This study looks at children with difficult-to-control epilepsy who are already scheduled for a special brain monitoring test with wires inside the skull. It observes how their seizures and brain activity change during the stay.
This study tests a wearable device that records brain waves to help predict and track seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. It may help you better understand your seizure patterns and reduce uncertainty.
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.
