Testing a new EEG headband during standard epilepsy monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of EEG (brain wave) sensor placed under the scalp to see if it can accurately record seizure signals during the standard monitoring you're already scheduled for. If it works well, it could lead to a less invasive way to monitor epilepsy in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have drug-resistant epilepsy (seizures not controlled by medication).
- You are already scheduled for a standard inpatient SEEG monitoring procedure at the hospital.
- You are willing and able to give written consent to participate.
- You do not have any condition that would make the study unsafe, such as an active infection at the sensor site, a bleeding disorder, or use of blood thinners that can't be paused.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a new device to help diagnose epilepsy in people whose previous EEG brain monitoring did not give clear answers. If you have drug-resistant epilepsy with at least one seizure a month on average, this study may help find better treatment options.
This study checks whether a new type of EEG recording (a brain wave test) can detect seizure activity in people with epilepsy. You may join if you are already scheduled for routine and video EEG testing (and possibly inpatient monitoring) as part of your clinical care, including a brain MRI.
This study tests using a small, home-based EEG device to monitor brain activity over several weeks in people with hard-to-control seizures, rare epilepsies, or developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. The goal is to see if this method can better track seizures and improve care.
This study tests a new ear-worn sensor to monitor brain activity. It will see if the device is safe and easy to use for recording seizures. Healthy volunteers and people with suspected seizures are both needed.
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 study looks at using special tiny filaments during brain monitoring to better identify where seizures start. It’s meant for people with hard-to-control (refractory) epilepsy who are already being considered for a specific brain-monitoring procedure.
