Sleep Spindles and Memory in Rolandic Epilepsy
Recruiting
The investigators are recruiting children with Rolandic epilepsy and children without epilepsy (aged 4 years old and above) for a non-invasive brain imaging study using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography/Electroencephalography (MEG/EEG), and experimental tasks. The investigators hope to determine the brain circuits and brain rhythms affected in these children and ultimately identify new treatment options for childhood epilepsy patients.

Pivotal-Safety and Therapeutic Measures of tDCS in Patients With Refractory Focal Epilepsy
Recruiting
This is a multiple site, randomized, double blinded parallel-group controlled study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of repeated, daily sessions with the STARSTIM device, which delivers transcranial cathodal direct current stimulation (tDCS). Subjects will be treated with STARTSTIM or sham device for 10 sessions over a 2-week period. The subjects will be followed for an additional 10 weeks post treatment. Quality of Life questionnaires and adverse even... Read More

A Retrospective Survey-based Multicenter Study to Delineate the Molecular and Phenotypic Spectrum of Epilepsy-dyskinesia Syndromes
Recruiting
The Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Study aims to advance the understanding of the clinical and molecular spectrum of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes, monogenic diseases that cause both movement disorders and epilepsy. Addressing challenges in rare disease research -such as small, geographically dispersed patient populations and a lack of standardized protocols- the study employs a multinational retrospective survey endorsed by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. This survey seeks to co... Read More

Mapping and Modulating the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Socio-Affective Processing
Recruiting
The overall goal of this study is to map the spatiotemporal dynamics of social affective processing and to examine selective modulation of these dynamics in humans undergoing invasive intracranial monitoring for treatment-resistant epilepsy and depression. Pursuing this signal from a novel platform with invasive intracranial recording electrodes provides much-needed spatial and temporal resolution to characterize the neural dynamics of socio-affective processing. The investigators will leverage... Read More

Pharmacological Modulation of Brain Oscillations in Memory Processing
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to learn about the effects of scopolamine (an anticholinergic drug) on areas of the brain involved in memory, and changes it may have on brain activity. The investigators will do this by testing epileptic patients who are already undergoing intracranial surgery for seizure monitoring, and measuring the activity from the brain areas being assessed. The main questions it aims to answer are 1) whether scopolamine changes memory activity solely at encoding (the time when t... Read More

Human Intracranial Electrophysiology
Recruiting
This study will enroll patients with epilepsy who are being evaluated for epilepsy surgery and have electrodes implanted in the brain and/or have electrodes on the scalp. Additionally, this study will recruit normal and online controls (participants who do not have epilepsy). Participants will be asked to participate in 1 to 2 (30-90 minutes) daily sessions designed to test aspects of human cognition such as memory, speech, language, feeling, movement, attention, sound perception, and emotions....

Epilepsy Learning Healthcare System (ELHS)
Recruiting
The Epilepsy Learning Health System (ELHS) is a quality improvement and research network to improve outcomes for people with epilepsy. The ELHS is designed as a model of value-based chronic care for epilepsy as envisioned by the National Academies of Medicine Committee in their landmark reports "The Learning Health System" and "Epilepsy Across the Spectrum: Promoting Health and Understanding". The ELHS network is a collaboration among clinicians, patients and researchers that promotes the use o... Read More

Impact of Capturing Ictal Events With Ultra-long-term Ambulatory EEG Monitoring With Remote EEG Monitoring System.
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test Epitel's™ Remote EEG Monitoring System's (REMI™) ability to record electroencephalography (EEG) of seizure events in an ambulatory setting for extended periods (14 - 28 days) in patients presenting with questionable seizure characterization. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Can more seizure events be recorded in fourteen (14) days than can be recorded in three (3) days? • Do treating clinicians find clinical value in extended fourteen (14) -...

Genetic Markers of Cardiovascular Disease in Epilepsy
Recruiting
Epilepsy is a common condition which affects over 3 million people in the US. Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy have a lifetime risk of sudden unexpected death (SUDEP) of 35%, which is greatest in those under 40 years of age. The exact mechanisms and causes are not understood but can be due to underlying conditions which affect the heart and brain, which may lead to dangerous heart rhythms and death. Some of these conditions which affect heart and brain have an identifiable genetic cause. This... Read More
