Summary

This study is testing a new type of EEG device called tripolar EEG (tEEG) to see if it can detect seizures in people with epilepsy better than the standard EEG. Researchers will compare recordings from both devices in 90 adults and children. The goal is to see if tEEG reduces interference and helps doctors identify seizure activity more accurately.

Active substance

tripolar electroencephalography (tEEG) device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a more accurate and comfortable way to detect seizures, improving epilepsy diagnosis.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new device might not be significantly better than standard EEG.
