Brain wave study for epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether brief electrical pulses can help identify and change unusual brain wave patterns in people with hard-to-treat epilepsy. It may help improve how doctors map the brain before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that hasn't improved with medication.
- You are scheduled for intracranial EEG monitoring, which involves placing electrodes inside the skull to record brain activity.
- You are between 3 and 69 years old.
- You are able to tolerate the 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 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.
This study looks at brain wave patterns during epilepsy surgery preparation. It aims to better understand how seizures start, which may help improve future treatments.
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 research study looks at how certain brain waves (called theta oscillations) help you focus and prioritize information. If you have epilepsy that hasn't been controlled with medicines and you already have brain electrodes in place for your epilepsy monitoring, you may be able to join this study to help scientists understand the role of these brain signals.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
