Brain Wave-Guided stimulation may tame tough seizures

NCT ID NCT04693221

First seen Feb 11, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests whether adjusting a vagal nerve stimulator based on brain wave patterns (called PLI) can better reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medication. About 140 participants with a newly implanted stimulator will have their device settings chosen either by their brain wave readings or by standard methods. The goal is to see if personalized settings lead to fewer seizures per month.
