New EEG method could help kids with epilepsy get the right surgery
NCT ID NCT06271785
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a high-resolution EEG (HR-EEG) can better predict which children with drug-resistant focal epilepsy will have successful surgery. About 120 children will have a painless HR-EEG recording before surgery. Researchers will compare the pattern of brain signals to see if a tight cluster of signals predicts better outcomes. The goal is to help more children get this underused treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
High-resolution EEG (HR-EEG) recording
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better identify children who will benefit from epilepsy surgery, leading to more successful surgeries and fewer seizures.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not improve prediction accuracy as hoped, and results may not apply to all children with epilepsy.
