Virtual reality and seizure risk study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether fully immersive virtual reality can trigger brain activity patterns seen in epilepsy. If you have epilepsy and have had certain brain wave patterns on an EEG, the results could help understand if VR is safe for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy or are suspected to have it
- You have had epileptic brain activity (interictal epileptiform discharges) on a past or current EEG
- You are 13 years old or older
- You are not pregnant
- You are not currently incarcerated
- You do not have moderate or severe intellectual disability

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 tests a wearable device that records brain activity to predict seizures. It might help you manage your epilepsy if you have seizures at least once a day but no more than two in the last three months.
This study tests a new ear-worn sensor to monitor brain activity. It will see if the device is safe and easy to use for recording seizures. Healthy volunteers and people with suspected seizures are both needed.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
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 looks at whether a special brain-recording procedure for difficult-to-control seizures changes a person’s memory, thinking, or other brain skills afterward. It may help doctors understand risks and plan care for people undergoing the procedure.
