Can invisible electric fields quiet the Brain's seizure signals?
Disease control By invitation onlyThis trial tests whether a non-invasive technique called temporally-interfering electric field stimulation (TIEFS) can reduce abnormal brain activity linked to epilepsy. Researchers will measure seizure-related signals in patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy who are alread…

Real-World study tracks Epidyolex's Long-Term impact on seizures
Disease control OngoingThis study follows 158 people in France who are prescribed Epidyolex (a cannabidiol-based medicine) for seizures as part of their normal care. Researchers will track how long people stay on the treatment, side effects, seizure frequency, and changes in daily functioning and quali…

Brain zaps for seizures: tiny trial tests new target
Disease control OngoingThis pilot study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of a brain region called the subiculum can safely reduce seizures in 6 people with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy and bilateral hippocampal sclerosis. Participants receive a DBS device, and researchers track seizu…

New inhaler aims to stop prolonged seizures fast and safely
Symptom relief By invitation onlyThis study tests the long-term safety of an inhaled medication called Staccato alprazolam for people aged 12 and older who have prolonged seizures. About 300 participants will use the inhaler when a seizure starts to see if it stops the seizure quickly and without serious side ef…

Sound waves aimed at the brain could ease seizures
Symptom relief By invitation onlyThis small study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can safely reduce seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication. Six participants with implanted brain electrodes will receive both real and sham ultrasound sessions. The …

Brain imaging study seeks clues to childhood epilepsy
Knowledge-focused CancelledThis study looked at how sounds played during sleep affect brain waves and memory in children with Rolandic epilepsy. Researchers used brain scans (MRI, MEG/EEG) to understand which brain circuits are involved. The goal was to find new treatment ideas for this type of childhood e…

Scientists dig into brain genes to unlock epilepsy mysteries
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at gene activity in brain tissue removed during surgery from 10 people with temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis. The goal is to find which genes are linked to the disease and may help predict outcomes. No new treatment is being tested; instead, resea…

Zapping the Brain's memory network: a new hope for epilepsy?
Knowledge-focused By invitation onlyThis pilot study at the University of Chicago is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve memory and reduce seizure-related brain activity in people with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Thirty-four adults with drug-resistant MTLE wil…
