New stimulation implant trial for epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of stimulation placed under the skin to help control seizures in people with epilepsy. It is for patients whose seizures are not controlled with medication and who cannot have surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have focal or idiopathic generalized epilepsy that does not respond to medication.
- You have at least 4 focal seizures per month, or frequent spike-wave activity on EEG.
- You have been told by an epilepsy team that you are not a candidate for epilepsy surgery.
- You are able to care for the device wound and have a clean home environment.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other electrical implant.

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 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 new way to stimulate the brain using bursts of electrical pulses in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It might help find better treatment options for those who are already undergoing SEEG monitoring as part of their presurgical evaluation.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation using electric fields to treat epilepsy, specifically for people who are already having invasive EEG monitoring as part of their care.
This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation method (transcranial electrical stimulation) to reduce seizures in children with hard-to-control partial epilepsy. It aims to find the best stimulation spot and settings for each patient by using advanced brain scans.
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.
