Brain stimulation for drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy.
- You have had epilepsy for at least 2 years.
- You have at least 2 seizures per month on average in the last 3 months.
- You are currently taking two or more anti-seizure medications and are willing to continue the same regimen during the trial.
- You can cooperate with the treatment and required tests, and you and your family can give informed consent.

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 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 study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called TIEFS. It uses safe electric fields to see how it affects thinking and brain waves. You may join if you are having brain surgery for epilepsy or are a healthy adult.
This study tests a new way to treat seizures that start in the temporal lobe using special electrical signals that focus on the seizure area without surgery. It may help reduce seizures in people whose seizures don't stop with medicine.
This study uses a special type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to measure how well epilepsy medications are working in adults with epilepsy.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS for people with drug-resistant epilepsy that starts in one part of the brain. It aims to reduce seizures in those who cannot have surgery or have not been helped by surgery.
