Flexible brain sensor study for epilepsy surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 3 to 60 years old.
- You have drug-resistant epilepsy (seizures continue even after trying two or more seizure medicines).
- Your seizures start in one part of your brain (focal epilepsy) and you are being considered for surgery to remove that area.
- Your thinking and development are typical for your age, as measured by standard tests.
- You or your legal guardian can sign a consent form.

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 study looks at brain activity using electrodes placed inside the brain in people with focal, drug-resistant epilepsy before surgery. It may help doctors better map where seizures start and improve planning for treatment.
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 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 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.
