Brain stimulation for movement-related seizures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain stimulation treatment for people whose seizures are not controlled by medication and involve movement. It uses two targets in the brain to try to reduce these seizures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your seizures have not been controlled by at least two medications.
- You have motor seizures, such as jerking, stiffening, or muscle spasms (or seizures starting in the motor area of the brain).
- You have more than 3 seizures per month, with no gap longer than 30 days.
- Your seizures have been documented in a seizure diary or by a doctor in the last 3 months.
- You have not had brain surgery (removing or destroying tissue) in the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation of a small area in the brain can help reduce seizures that start in the motor part of the brain and do not respond to medication. It may be an option for people who cannot have surgery or whose surgery did not help enough.
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 records brain signals from electrodes already placed in your brain for medical reasons. It looks at how your brain controls movement, which could help develop future devices for people with paralysis.
This study tests a new implantable device that sends tiny electrical pulses to the brain to stop seizures before they start. It's for people with focal epilepsy whose seizures aren't controlled by medication.
This study looks at how the brain and body coordination work in people with epilepsy whose seizures do not fully respond to seizure medicines. Some participants may be people who are being evaluated for a possible epilepsy surgery because tests suggest they could benefit.
This study tests a model-based way of using electrical brain stimulation in people who are having surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy or brain tumors. It uses implanted electrodes to measure brain activity and may help improve how stimulation is planned during surgical care.
