New brain scanner could sharpen epilepsy surgery targeting
NCT ID NCT07281222
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, more comfortable brain scanner (OPM MEG) that fits directly on the head to locate where seizures start in people with epilepsy. Researchers will compare its accuracy to standard methods in 70 patients aged 6 to 65 who are already scheduled for epilepsy surgery. If the device proves reliable, it could help surgeons remove the right brain area and improve seizure control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
OPM MEG device (FYNA Research)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more accurate, comfortable, and accessible way to pinpoint seizure origins, potentially improving surgical outcomes for epilepsy patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage diagnostic study with only 70 participants. The device may not prove more accurate than existing methods, and results may not generalize to all epilepsy types.
