Ear device could spot seizures without wires
NCT ID NCT07088835
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a small device that fits in the ear to detect seizures by measuring brain waves. Researchers will first test it on 5 healthy people, then on 10 people with epilepsy who are already scheduled for a standard scalp EEG. The goal is to see if the in-ear device is safe, comfortable, and accurate compared to the usual method.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SeizEAR in-ear seizure detection device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more convenient and less noticeable way to monitor seizures, potentially improving epilepsy management.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small feasibility study with only 15 participants. The device may not be as accurate as standard EEG, and comfort or fit issues could arise.
