Brain cell injection could tame Drug-Resistant epilepsy
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early-stage trial tests a new cell therapy called UX-GIP001 for adults with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. The treatment involves injecting special brain cells into the seizure area to calm overactive nerves. Only 12 people will take part, and the main goal is to che…

New MRI techniques may sharpen seizure surgery targeting
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether combining standard MRI with two advanced techniques—MRI volumetry and diffusion tensor imaging—can more accurately identify the seizure-causing brain area in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. Researchers will compare these imaging results with clinical …

Could a night of brain zapping improve sleep and seizures in epilepsy?
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference (TI) can reduce abnormal brain activity and improve sleep in adults with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. Twenty participants will stay in a sleep lab for six nights, receiving …

Zapping the brain without surgery: new hope for epilepsy?
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference (TI) for people with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. 30 adults will receive 5 days of TI stimulation targeting the hippocampus. The goal is to see if this reduces seizure frequency o…

New MRI scan could pinpoint epilepsy hotspots without surgery
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study explores whether a special MRI technique called CEST can locate the brain area causing seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers will scan 20 patients before surgery and compare the MRI results with standard methods. If it works, this could reduce th…
