Epilepsy surgery and PTSD study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how epilepsy surgery affects people who also have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how their seizures change after surgery. It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit most from epilepsy surgery.

This study looks at how well epilepsy surgery works for infants and children treated at the Rothschild Foundation. It mainly depends on whether your child is already scheduled/being treated there and whether you agree to participate.
This study looks at how brain electrical signals relate to anxiety symptoms in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It compares people who do (or do not) meet criteria for generalized anxiety disorder, to better understand anxiety in this setting.
This study looks at how the brain processes fear using a device already implanted to treat epilepsy or PTSD. It may help researchers understand fear responses and improve treatments.
This study looks at how emotion-related brain connections change in space and over time while people with epilepsy are having surgery-related electrodes placed to find seizure sources. It may help researchers better understand brain networks and improve future treatment planning.
This study collects brain tissue from people with epilepsy that is not controlled by medication, during their planned surgery. Researchers will study the tissue to better understand epilepsy and improve treatments.
