Overnight brain stimulation for temporal lobe epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle magnetic device applied overnight can help reduce seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. You'll stay in a sleep lab for one night while we monitor your brain waves and sleep.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a specific type of epilepsy that starts in the temporal lobe (side of the brain) and is not controlled by medication.
- You are willing to stay overnight in a sleep lab for monitoring (with sensors on your head and body).
- Your epilepsy medicines have been the same for at least one week before the study.
- You cannot have certain metal implants (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant) that interfere with the device used in this study.

This trial tests a new, gentle way to stimulate specific brain areas using a special electrical signal. It aims to see if this can help people with epilepsy that hasn't improved with medication.
This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment called 'temporal interference' for people whose epilepsy seizures are not controlled by medication. It aims to reduce seizures by using low-level electrical fields to calm overactive brain cells.
This research study tests a new method that uses magnetic pulses and brain-wave recordings to detect consciousness during sleep. Researchers want to validate this technology in healthy adults to see if it accurately measures brain activity.
This trial tests a brain stimulation treatment for people with temporal lobe epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication. The goal is to see if it can reduce seizures.
This trial tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that isn't helped by current treatments. It uses a non-invasive method that may offer a new option for controlling seizures.
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.
