DRUG-RESISTANT EPILEPSY

This study aims to learn if a ketogenic diet (a high-fat, low-carb diet) is a safe and effective treatment for children with hard-to-treat conditions like epilepsy, autism, migraines, or brain tumors. Researchers will follow 100 children under 18 who are already on this diet to s…

This study is testing whether a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can reduce seizure frequency in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. 60 participants aged 9+ will receive either real or sham stimulation for 10 days in a crossover design. Researchers will mea…

This small pilot study is testing whether wearing a special hat that emits infrared light can help reduce seizures in adults with drug-resistant epilepsy. All 13 participants will try the daily light therapy to see if it's safe, tolerable, and might decrease seizure frequency. Th…

This small pilot study is testing whether a non-invasive, painless ultrasound treatment can help control seizures in adults with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medication. Participants will receive six ultrasound sessions over three weeks while tracking their seizures. The main…

This study is testing whether focused ultrasound can safely reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. Doctors will use MRI-guided sound waves to target specific brain areas in 20 adult patients. The main goals are to check if the procedure is sa…

This study aims to compare two advanced brain scanning techniques—magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-resolution electroencephalography (EEG)—to see which is better at pinpointing the exact area of the brain causing seizures. It involves 100 people with drug-resistant epilepsy …

This study is testing a tablet-based tool called the 'Epilepsy Visit Planner' to see if it helps patients communicate better with their doctors. About 150 adults with drug-resistant epilepsy will try the app in the waiting room before their appointment. Researchers will check if …

This study aims to collect detailed information from 4,500 patients before and after various brain and spine surgeries. The goal is to identify which factors best predict a patient's recovery and quality of life after their operation. By standardizing how outcomes are measured ac…

This study aims to understand how seizures affect brain connections in children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers will use advanced brain imaging and recordings from implanted electrodes to measure how seizure activity changes the brain's wiring patterns. The study includ…
