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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

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.
