NCT ID NCT05250713

First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looked at how weak electric currents applied to the scalp can change brain activity in people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Researchers used special brain recordings to measure spikes and connections between brain regions during and right after stimulation. The goal was to understand how these currents work, not to treat the condition. Twelve adults took part in this observational study.
