Temporal interference for temporal lobe epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI) for people with epilepsy that starts in the temporal lobe and is not controlled by medication. The goal is to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can reduce seizures without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that is not controlled by medication (drug-resistant epilepsy) and it starts in the temporal lobe of your brain.
- You are already scheduled to have SEEG (a procedure where doctors place electrodes inside your brain to find where seizures come from).
- You can cooperate with the treatment and related tests.
- You understand the study and are willing to sign a consent form.
- You are not currently in a prolonged seizure or having seizures back-to-back.
- You do not have a severe medical condition, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and are not participating in another trial at the same time.

This trial tests a type of brain stimulation therapy (TIS) for people with temporal lobe epilepsy that hasn't responded well to seizure medications. The goal is to help reduce how often seizures happen.
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 called temporal interference to help people with epilepsy that hasn't responded well to medications. Researchers want to see if this approach can reduce seizures and improve thinking or memory problems.
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 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 early study looks at how MRI scans and implanted brain electrodes (intracranial EEG) can pinpoint where seizures start, especially in the temporal (side) lobe. It may help doctors better localize seizure sources for people whose seizures don’t respond well to medications.
