Seizure forecasting device for temporal lobe epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have epilepsy that starts in the temporal lobe of the brain.
- You must have at least 2 seizures per month on average (but no more than 30 per month).
- Your seizure medications must have been at a stable dose for the past 3 months.
- You must be able to keep a seizure diary and attend office visits.
- You must not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and if female, you must use effective birth control.

This study maps how thinking and memory work by recording brain signals during a presurgical epilepsy workup. It may help doctors better understand drug-resistant focal epilepsy and improve how they plan treatment.
This study checks whether a new type of EEG recording (a brain wave test) can detect seizure activity in people with epilepsy. You may join if you are already scheduled for routine and video EEG testing (and possibly inpatient monitoring) as part of your clinical care, including a brain MRI.
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 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.
This trial tests if tracking your brain activity with an implanted device can help predict when seizures might happen. It is for adults who have seizures despite medication and already have the RNS System implanted.
This study tests a wearable device that records brain activity to predict seizures. It might help you manage your epilepsy if you have seizures at least once a day but no more than two in the last three months.
