Brain scan may forecast Seizure-Free future after epilepsy surgery
NCT ID NCT04451278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a type of MRI scan, called resting-state functional MRI, can predict if epilepsy surgery will be successful in children aged 6 to 18. The scan measures how different parts of the brain communicate while at rest. Researchers hope this will help doctors better plan surgeries and improve outcomes for children with drug-resistant epilepsy.
