A softer brain electrode for safer epilepsy and tumour surgery
This study tests a new, softer brain electrode that is placed during surgery to help doctors monitor brain activity. It is for people having brain surgery for a tumour or epilepsy, and aims to improve how these electrodes work while being safer and less invasive.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have a brain tumour or epilepsy that requires brain surgery.
- Your surgery must involve placing small electrode strips on the surface of the brain to help guide the procedure.
- You must be able to understand and agree to participate in the study.
- You cannot have certain health conditions (like untreated infections, blood clotting problems, or other serious illnesses) that make surgery risky.
- You cannot be pregnant, in prison, or taking part in another clinical trial at the same time.

This study tests a new “hybrid” type of electrodes placed inside the brain to better map where seizures start in people with difficult (drug-resistant) focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan safer and more effective surgery, though it involves an invasive brain monitoring procedure.
This trial is testing new flexible brain electrodes during epilepsy surgery. These electrodes may help doctors map brain activity better than standard rigid ones. If you are having surgery for epilepsy caused by a brain lesion, you might be able to join.
This trial tests a new flexible brain sensor to help guide surgery for people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. It aims to find exactly where seizures start so surgeons can remove that area safely.
This study uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
This study looks at how the brain works during epilepsy monitoring to help doctors better plan surgery. If you join, you'll do simple tasks on a computer while doctors record your brain activity.
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.
