Brain stimulation study for epilepsy patients and healthy volunteers
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are either having brain surgery to find where your seizures start, or you are a healthy volunteer.
- You can speak and understand English or Spanish well enough for the study tasks.
- You can give your own permission (informed consent) to join.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.

This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation using electric fields to treat epilepsy, specifically for people who are already having invasive EEG monitoring as part of their care.
This study places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
This study uses advanced brain monitoring and noninvasive magnetic stimulation to understand how repetitive brain stimulation works in people with epilepsy who are already scheduled for hospital monitoring. It may help develop better treatments for seizures.
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 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.
This trial studies how stimulating the brain changes communication between parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory. You may be able to join if you are already having epilepsy surgery and doctors will place specific brain electrodes as part of your evaluation.
