Brain Stimulation for Hard-to-Treat Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation therapy (TIS) for people with temporal lobe epilepsy that hasn't responded well to seizure medications. The goal is to help reduce how often seizures happen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy (seizures that don't stop with medication) for at least 2 years
- You have temporal lobe epilepsy confirmed by brain imaging, EEG recordings, and seizure symptoms
- You have at least 2 seizures per month on average over the past 3 months
- You are currently taking two or more anti-seizure medications that you will keep taking during the trial
- You are able to cooperate with treatment visits and medical exams

This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference to help people with epilepsy that hasn't responded well to medications. Researchers want to see if this approach can reduce seizures and improve thinking or memory problems.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI) for people with epilepsy that starts in the temporal lobe and is not controlled by medication. The goal is to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can reduce seizures without surgery.
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 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 trial tests a personalized brain stimulation method (transcranial electrical stimulation) to reduce seizures in children with hard-to-control partial epilepsy. It aims to find the best stimulation spot and settings for each patient by using advanced brain scans.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses harmless electric fields to target areas deep in the brain that may be causing seizures. It is done while you are already in the hospital for epilepsy monitoring with special electrodes.
