NCT ID NCT03865771
First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study looks at how sleep affects memory in children with certain types of epilepsy. Researchers will test memory before and after sleep in 95 children, comparing those with mild epilepsy, severe epilepsy, and no epilepsy. The goal is to see if epileptic brain activity during sleep disrupts memory consolidation, which may explain learning difficulties in these children.
