Brain stimulation for epilepsy during monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses harmless electric fields to target areas deep in the brain that may be causing seizures. It is done while you are already in the hospital for epilepsy monitoring with special electrodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have already had electrode wires placed deep in your brain to monitor your seizures.
- You are stable and able to follow study procedures while in the hospital.
- You cannot have metal implants or a pacemaker that would make an MRI unsafe.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You agree to not join any other drug or device study for 3 months before this one.

This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference to help people with epilepsy that hasn't responded well to medications. Researchers want to see if this approach can reduce seizures and improve thinking or memory problems.
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 study uses a special kind of brain recording with stimulation to better map seizure activity while you are already having monitoring for epilepsy surgery. It may help doctors understand how to plan safer, more effective treatment.
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.
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.
This study tests whether quick brain stimulation can change abnormal electrical signals in people with epilepsy who are already having brain recording surgery. It may help doctors find new ways to treat seizures.
