Brain zaps reveal clues about epilepsy treatment

NCT ID NCT00382707

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) changes brain activity in people with hard-to-treat frontal lobe epilepsy. Researchers measured brain excitability before and after stimulation to understand why rTMS might reduce seizures. The study was stopped early and included 15 participants.
