New brain test could speed up epilepsy diagnosis

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new tool called BioEP that helps doctors decide if someone has epilepsy. About 559 adults who had their first possible seizure will take part. The tool analyzes EEG brain wave results to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult (age 18 and above) presenting with first suspected seizure(s) * Able to give informed consent * Patient receives EEG following clinicians' decision to refer for an EEG based on clinical history and seizure description taken during first seizure clinic. * Non-contributory EEG only (i.e. no specific diagnostic abnormalities present such as interictal epileptiform discharges) Exclusion Criteria: * Participants unable to tolerate an EEG test so no EEG data were gathered * Participants with a known hepatic/renal encephalopathy * Participants that upon history taking have a clear clinical diagnosis of a physical condition other than epilepsy (e.g. vasovagal syncope)
