There are currently 81 active clinical trials seeking participants for Epilepsy research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Epilepsy participants are Florida, Texas, California and New York.
Behavioral and Neuronal Correlates of Human Mood States
Recruiting
Optimizing treatments in mental health requires an easy to obtain, continuous, and objective measure of internal mood. Unfortunately, current standard-of-care clinical scales are sparsely sampled, subject to recency bias, underutilized, and are not validated for acute mood monitoring. The recent shift to remote care also requires novel methods to measure internal mood. Recent advances in computer vision have allowed the accurate quantification of observable speech patterns and facial representat... Read More

Evaluation of the 24/7 EEG SubQ System for Ultra Long-Term Recording of Patients With Epilepsy Involving the Temporal Lobe Region.
Recruiting
The 24/7 EEG™ SubQ system will be compared to simultaneously recorded video-EEG in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (gold standard) and to self-reported seizure log books throughout 12 weeks of outpatient EEG recording. The present study is a 12-week open-label, prospective study with a paired, comparative design for pivotal evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the 24/7 EEGTM SubQ system in subjects with epilepsy involving the temporal lobe region . 2-5 sites in Europe Up to 10 sites in U...

PET/MRI/EEG Imaging Study in Epilepsy
Recruiting
This study aims to better understand how epilepsy alters brain function through neuroimaging of healthy people and people with epilepsy. The study investigates how changes in brain metabolism (sugar consumption, measured by positron emission tomography \[FDG-PET\], and blood flow, measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging \[fMRI\]) relate to abnormal interictal electrical activity associated with epilepsy (measured by electroencephalography \[EEG\]). The study will also compare how the t... Read More

A Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation in Patients With Drug-resistant Epilepsy
Recruiting
This will be a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-center, pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) neuromodulation using NaviFUS System in patients with drug-resistant unilateral or bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (DR-TLE).

Flexible Representation of Speech
Recruiting
The overarching goal of this exploratory research is to understand the dynamic and flexible nature of speech processing in the human supratemporal plane. The temporal lobe has long been established as a region of interest in the speech perception and processing literature because it contains the auditory cortex. More recently, research has localized the supratemporal plane as an area that exhibits response specificity to acoustic properties of complex auditory signals like speech. The supratempo... Read More

Ear-Seizure Detection (EarSD) Study
Recruiting
The proposed study is an investigator-initiated study that aims to measure the accuracy of a wearable seizure detection and prediction device (Ear-Seizure Detection Device (EarSD)) by simultaneous recording with conventional video-EEG (Electroencephalogram) on patients with epileptic seizures in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit of the hospital.

Allogenic Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells(AMSCs) for Epilepsy During Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) Surgery
Recruiting
This study is a non-randomized, open label, phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the fesibility and safety of intrathalamic delivery of MSCs during standard of care DBS surgery for epilepsy. Subjects will be screened at our outpatient clinic and interested qualified subjects will be consented and offered participation in this trial. Once consent has been obtained, patients will undergo a standard preoperative evaluation which includes baseline laboratory values and a high-definition MRI. Patients... Read More

Microelectrode Recordings From the Vagus Nerve in Awake Humans
Recruiting
This Anchillary project uses a refined technique of ultrasound-guided microneurography of the human cervical vagus nerve, an approach developed by Professor Vaughan Macefield and used safely to-date in 44 prior study participants. The overall goal of this project is to build upon prior data obtained using this approach by undertaking a detailed neurophysiological investigation of the human vagus nerve and to identify the nerve fibers activated during vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) in participant...

Invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces for Attention
Recruiting
The goal of this interventional study is to compare if the use of a brain-machine interface (BCI) therapy can improve the symptoms of attentional deficit by producing brain changes in the networks that modulate attention. The investigators intend to work with epileptic participants who do not respond to pharmacological treatment, who will undergo neurosurgery. The questions the study sets out to answer are: 1. is there an improvement of symptoms in an experimental group receiving the treatment... Read More
