EEG monitoring for stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses EEG (a harmless brain wave test) to monitor stroke patients in the hospital. It aims to learn more about brain activity after a stroke, which could help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed stroke (either from a blocked artery or a bleed in the brain).
- People whose symptoms are later found to be caused by something other than a stroke are not eligible.

This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
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 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 studies a new way of analyzing EEG results to help doctors decide if a first suspected seizure was caused by epilepsy. If you had a first seizure and your EEG did not show clear signs of epilepsy, this test might improve your diagnosis.
This study looks at how your brain becomes aware of things—like sounds and images—by measuring pupil size and brain activity. Healthy people may have an MRI; epilepsy patients with special brain electrodes already implanted can also join a part of the study.
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.
