Testing a drug to boost memory during epilepsy monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medication called trospium chloride (often used for bladder problems) can improve memory and brain activity in people with epilepsy. Participants will receive the drug while undergoing brain monitoring for their epilepsy, and researchers will measure brain signals to see if it helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You need to be scheduled for brain monitoring (with electrodes placed inside the skull) as part of your epilepsy care.
- You must be in generally good health other than having epilepsy.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have significant liver, kidney, bladder, or eye problems, or certain other conditions.
- You must not be taking certain medications that could interact with the study drug.

This early research study tests whether a medicine can change the brain’s electrical “rhythms” while people do memory-related tasks. It may help researchers understand how brain timing affects memory in people who are already being evaluated with specialized brain electrode monitoring.
This study looks at how a medication given during brain surgery affects thinking and memory. It is for people having deep brain stimulation for essential tremor or epilepsy surgery with electrodes in the brain.
This trial looks at ways to improve memory by targeting specific deep brain areas in people with epilepsy. You may be eligible if you are already scheduled for long-term video monitoring with implanted depth electrodes in the memory-related regions (amygdala, hippocampus, and nearby areas).
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 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 places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
