Sleep-sensitive brain stimulation for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a brain implant that delivers electrical stimulation during sleep to reduce seizures in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It aims to improve seizure control and sleep quality.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 18 to 65 years
- Diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome with confirmed generalized seizures (tonic or tonic-clonic) and at least 4 seizures per month
- Failed to control seizures with at least 2 anti-seizure medications
- Stable medication doses for at least 1 month before starting
- Report sleep disturbances
- Have a caregiver who can help maintain a seizure diary

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (adaptive deep brain stimulation) that adjusts in real time to stop seizures in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It's for children who haven't gotten enough help from medications and have frequent drop seizures.
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.
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 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 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 study tests a new device that sends mild electrical pulses to the brain to reduce seizures in people whose seizures are not controlled by medication. It may help if you have at least four seizures a month despite taking anti-seizure drugs.
