NCT ID NCT04653012

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study aims to better understand how epileptic seizures start by recording brain activity in 50 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who already have electrodes implanted for surgery planning. Researchers will look at individual brain cells and electrical patterns before, during, and after seizures, as well as during sleep and thinking tasks. The goal is to find markers of seizures, not to test a new treatment.
