Headband tracks sleep to warn of seizure danger
NCT ID NCT06545643
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a comfortable headband (Dreem) to monitor brain activity and sleep patterns in 35 adults with hard-to-control epilepsy. Participants wear the device at home for several nights to see how poor sleep affects their seizures. The goal is to learn which patients are most at risk after bad sleep, so doctors can tailor treatments.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify which people with epilepsy are most sensitive to poor sleep, leading to personalized treatment plans.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study (35 people) that only measures sleep and seizures—it does not test a treatment. Results may not apply to everyone with epilepsy.
