Brain stimulation study for epilepsy patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether quick brain stimulation can change abnormal electrical signals in people with epilepsy who are already having brain recording surgery. It may help doctors find new ways to treat seizures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that does not get better with medicine and are scheduled for brain monitoring
- You are age 3 or older and under age 70
- You are able to stay in the hospital and have brain recordings

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special kind of brain recording with stimulation to better map seizure activity while you are already having monitoring for epilepsy surgery. It may help doctors understand how to plan safer, more effective treatment.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called TIEFS. It uses safe electric fields to see how it affects thinking and brain waves. You may join if you are having brain surgery for epilepsy or are a healthy adult.
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.
This trial studies how stimulating the brain changes communication between parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory. You may be able to join if you are already having epilepsy surgery and doctors will place specific brain electrodes as part of your evaluation.
This study uses advanced brain monitoring and noninvasive magnetic stimulation to understand how repetitive brain stimulation works in people with epilepsy who are already scheduled for hospital monitoring. It may help develop better treatments for seizures.
This study measures brain activity in people with epilepsy while doctors place temporary electrodes inside the brain. It may help researchers better understand seizures and how to improve treatment.
