Zapping seizures away: laser treatment offers new hope for epilepsy patients
NCT ID NCT06720922
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a minimally invasive laser treatment for people with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. The procedure uses heat from a laser to destroy the small part of the brain causing seizures. Researchers will track whether patients become seizure-free and how their memory, thinking, and quality of life change. The trial enrolls 120 adults aged 18-65 who have at least one seizure per month despite medication.
