Neurofeedback for drug-resistant epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of brain training called neurofeedback (learning to control your own brain waves) to see if it helps reduce seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. If you have frequent seizures that don't respond to medications, this could be a new option to try.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have epilepsy that doesn't respond well to medication (drug-resistant), and the seizures start in one or a few areas of your brain.
- You have at least 3 seizures per month on average.
- Your epilepsy medications have been the same dose for the last 4 weeks (except a quick-relief pill).
- You can understand, speak, and read French, and you're willing to give written consent.

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 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 study tests how well a specific brain-recording device works during a procedure used to map seizure origins in people with drug-resistant, disabling focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan treatment by improving how well they can localize the seizure focus before possible surgery.
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 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 looks at how brain connections work in people with drug-resistant partial epilepsy by analyzing signals from implanted electrodes done before surgery. It may help doctors better understand epilepsy and improve future pre-surgical evaluation.
