Brain wave study for epilepsy surgery planning
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at brain wave patterns during epilepsy surgery preparation. It aims to better understand how seizures start, which may help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that does not improve with medication
- You are scheduled for a procedure called SEEG, which places thin wires in the brain to find where seizures begin
- You are able to understand and follow simple instructions during cognitive tasks
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a special brain-recording procedure for difficult-to-control seizures changes a person’s memory, thinking, or other brain skills afterward. It may help doctors understand risks and plan care for people undergoing the procedure.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
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 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 “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 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.
