NCT ID NCT05915988

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a new wireless device called UNEEG EpiSight, which is implanted under the skin to record brain activity (EEG) continuously for up to 13 months. It involves 19 adults with uncontrolled epilepsy whose seizures can be detected by the implant. The goal is to see if the device works reliably and safely for long-term seizure monitoring, which could help doctors tailor treatments.

Active substance

UNEEG EpiSight device (wireless EEG implant placed under the skin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could provide a more convenient way to monitor seizures long-term, helping doctors better manage epilepsy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 19 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device requires surgery and may have risks like infection or discomfort.
