Psychotic symptoms after seizures in epilepsy monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with hard-to-treat focal epilepsy experience psychotic symptoms (like confusion or hallucinations) after having seizures during a hospital stay for brain wave monitoring. It aims to better understand these symptoms and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have focal epilepsy (seizures that start in one part of the brain) that has not improved with at least two medications.
- You are scheduled to stay in the hospital for at least 5 days for video-EEG or SEEG monitoring, which records your brain activity during seizures.
- You do not currently have psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions.
- You have not changed your seizure or psychiatric medications in the 15 days before you come into the hospital.
- You can speak French and have national health insurance.

This study evaluates psychological and psychiatric well-being in adults with drug-resistant epilepsy who are being considered for surgery. It aims to understand factors that may affect outcomes and patient experience.
This study looks at how attention and concentration change right after a seizure in people with epilepsy. It uses a short hospital stay to track these changes, which may help improve understanding and future treatment.
This trial studies whether using EEG (a brain-wave test) in the ICU can help guide care for people whose seizures keep going despite initial medicines. It may benefit patients with severe, difficult-to-stop status epilepticus by improving how doctors find and treat ongoing seizure activity.
This study maps how thinking and memory work by recording brain signals during a presurgical epilepsy workup. It may help doctors better understand drug-resistant focal epilepsy and improve how they plan treatment.
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 examines how seizures affect sleep quality and dreams in people with hard-to-treat focal epilepsy. Researchers will use specialized brain electrodes to understand these connections during sleep, which may help improve treatment in the future.
