Heart changes in children with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks how epilepsy affects the heart's electrical activity (ECG) in children. It may help doctors understand if seizures can change heart rhythms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 1 and 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with epilepsy
- You have had a routine EEG test
- You do not have known heart problems like irregular heartbeat or heart failure
- You are not taking medicine that strongly affects your heart's electrical activity
- Your seizures are not caused by low blood sugar or high sodium levels

This trial looks at how common heart changes are in children with brain conditions like epilepsy, stroke, or migraine. It uses simple, painless heart tests (ECG and echo) to check for any hidden heart problems that might be linked to the neurological disorder.
This study tests whether a home exercise program (via a phone app) can help children with epilepsy think better, sleep better, and feel better overall. Researchers will measure brain function and fitness to see if the exercises make a difference.
This study looks at how well the kidneys work in children who have epilepsy. It may help doctors understand how epilepsy or its treatment affects kidney health.
This study checks whether genetic markers are linked to heart rhythm problems in people with epilepsy or seizure-related events, and in some close relatives. It may help doctors better spot who is at risk for dangerous heart rhythm issues.
This study looks at newborns with heart problems who have seizures, to learn more about why seizures happen and how to help. It may help doctors better treat babies with both conditions.
This study checks whether a wearable ECG patch can correctly record heart electrical signals and help identify abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias) in children. If it works well, it could make future heart rhythm monitoring more accurate for pediatric patients who need regular Holter (long ECG) monitoring.
