SEIZURES

This study is testing a non-invasive, focused ultrasound device on patients in the intensive care unit who are experiencing ongoing seizures that haven't stopped with standard medications. The goal is to see if directing gentle sound waves at specific brain areas can reduce or st…

This study aims to find out if brain tumor patients who have been seizure-free for six months can safely stop their anti-seizure medication sooner. It will compare a short treatment course against the standard practice of continuing the drug for two years. The goal is to reduce s…

This study aims to improve how paramedics treat children having seizures in ambulances. It tests if using simple, age-based doses of a common seizure-stopping medication (midazolam), given as a shot or nasal spray, works better and is as safe as the current method that requires c…

This study is testing whether a medication called levetiracetam, commonly used for seizures, can prevent epileptic seizures in adults with Down syndrome who also have Alzheimer's disease. Researchers also want to see if the drug can slow down the brain changes and memory loss lin…

This study is testing a new, comfortable device worn in the ear that aims to detect and predict epileptic seizures. Researchers will compare the device's accuracy to standard hospital EEG monitoring in 40 adult patients. The goal is to create a less intrusive way to monitor seizu…

This study is testing whether a medication called levetiracetam (Keppra) can prevent seizures in patients who have brain tumors in a specific, high-risk brain area called the primary motor cortex. The trial will enroll 150 adult patients who have not yet had a seizure. Participan…

This study aims to better understand how specific genetic changes affect people's health and development over time. Researchers will observe and collect information from up to 1,000 individuals who have a confirmed genetic variant linked to conditions like autism, developmental d…

This study aims to better understand epilepsy and identify people who may be eligible for other research studies. It will screen and observe up to 1000 adults and children (age 8+) with diagnosed or suspected epilepsy. The main goal is to gather detailed clinical information to h…

This study aims to understand how the brain controls movement intention. Researchers will use non-invasive brain stimulation and brain imaging on 30 healthy volunteers and patients with psychogenic movement disorders or non-epileptic seizures. The goal is to gather basic knowledg…

This study aims to understand how common seizures are in newborn babies in China and what factors might increase the risk. Researchers will monitor 1,400 newborns (0-28 days old) who have been diagnosed with seizures, using brain wave tests (EEG) and collecting health information…

This study aims to understand the genetic causes of seizures in babies under one year old. Researchers will perform genetic tests on 2000 infants in China to identify patterns and see how current treatments work. The goal is to gather knowledge that could lead to more personalize…

This study aims to understand if people with epilepsy who are at high risk of sudden death might have an underlying genetic heart condition. Researchers are recruiting 600 adults with epilepsy or their family members to provide DNA samples for genetic testing. The goal is to iden…

This study aims to understand how a drug called scopolamine affects brain activity during memory tasks. Researchers will work with 60 adults who have epilepsy and already have electrodes implanted in their brains for medical monitoring. Participants will complete memory games on …

This study aims to understand why and how scuba divers can experience oxygen toxicity, a dangerous condition from breathing high oxygen levels under pressure. Researchers will test how factors like breathing muscle training, sleep loss, common medications, and carbon dioxide expo…
