Acquired sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy

This Phase 3 trial tests a single inhaled dose of alprazolam (a fast-acting sedative) to stop prolonged seizures in people aged 12 and older. The goal is to see if it can end a seizure within 90 seconds and prevent it from coming back for at least 2 hours. About 350 participants …

This study investigates how rehearsal (repeating information) and sleep help solidify memories in people with epilepsy. Participants learn object-location pairs, with some pairs rehearsed and others not, and their memory is tested after a short delay and again after 12 hours—eith…

This study looks at how a focal seizure (a seizure starting in one part of the brain) temporarily changes a person's ability to pay attention. Researchers will test 100 adults with epilepsy before and after a seizure using attention tasks and brain wave recordings. The goal is to…

This study aims to find genetic mutations in the brain that cause drug-resistant epilepsy in children. Researchers will compare DNA from blood and brain tissue, including samples from special electrodes placed in the brain. The goal is to better understand the root causes of thes…

This study uses powerful MRI scanners to look at the brains and spinal cords of 700 people, including healthy volunteers and those with conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. The goal is to understand why some brains stay healthy while others decline. R…
