Neurofeedback training for drug-resistant epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to help people with epilepsy that does not respond to medication. It looks at whether training the brain to change certain activity can reduce seizures.
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 multifocal epilepsy (seizures starting in one or more specific areas of the brain) that is not controlled by medication
- You have at least 3 seizures per month
- Your epilepsy medications have been stable for at least 4 weeks before the study starts
- You can read and understand French, and you are willing to participate
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must be over 18, without neurological or psychiatric illnesses, and able to read French

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses MRI brain scans to see how “epileptic discharges” may affect brain connections in the developing brain. It also scans comparison participants without drug-resistant focal epilepsy to help researchers understand what is different.
This trial looks at ways to diagnose and treat focal epilepsy that isn't controlled by medications. It includes patients with or without a visible brain lesion on imaging.
This study looks at how different brain scans (like MRI, PET, and EEG) can help find the exact spot where seizures start in people whose epilepsy hasn't been controlled by medicines. It aims to better understand drug-resistant epilepsy so doctors can plan more accurate treatments.
This trial tests whether a mindfulness training program can improve quality of life for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It looks at whether learning mindfulness skills helps you cope day-to-day alongside your usual treatment.
This study tests a non-invasive focused ultrasound treatment for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. The goal is to see if this gentle ultrasound can reduce seizures without surgery.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS for people with drug-resistant epilepsy that starts in one part of the brain. It aims to reduce seizures in those who cannot have surgery or have not been helped by surgery.
