New study sheds light on brain signals during seizures in children
NCT ID NCT02826915
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at brain activity in 37 children with epilepsy using two devices: EEG (which records electrical brain signals) and NIRS (which measures blood oxygen levels in the brain). The goal was to better understand what happens in the brain during seizures and between seizures. The results may help improve future diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in children.
