First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, applied overnight, can reduce abnormal electrical activity linked to seizures and improve sleep quality in adults with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. Twenty participants will stay in a sleep lab for six nights, receiving stimulation on some nights and none on others, while their brain activity and sleep are monitored. The goal is to see if this approach offers a safe, drug-free way to manage epilepsy symptoms and sleep problems.
