Optimization of the Parameters of Vagal Nerve Stimulation
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is one of the neuromodulation techniques that can be indicated in patients suffering from refractory epilepsies, especially when an open resection has failed or is not indicated. However to date it is not possible to predict which patients will respond and what are the best parameters …
Understanding Ketamine's Dissociative Effects (KD Study)
The purpose of this study is to understand how ketamine brings about dissociative symptoms.
Clinical Study Evaluating Safety of Pentoxifylline in Patients With Grand-Mal Epilepsy Treated by Phenytoin Monotherapy
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting millions of people all over the world. Epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal synchronized electrical neuronal discharges that could be either focal or widespread. Pathogenesis of epilepsy involves multiple processes including genetics, oxidative stress, ion channels, neuroinflammation, and cellular damage through autophagy and …
Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Therapy for Epilepsy Post-Approval Study (EPAS)
The purpose of this post-approval study is to further evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of Medtronic DBS therapy for epilepsy on seizure reduction in newly implanted participants through 3 years of follow-up.
Effects of Recorded Music on Clinical and EEG Seizure Activity
This research is being done to determine if Mozart music and/or age-appropriate music can reduce the frequency of seizures and epileptiform discharges.
Functional Brain Mapping for Patients With Epilepsy
We aim to determine the clinical utility of 'dynamic tractography': a novel method for visualizing electrical neural transfers that incorporates the underlying white matter tracts and supporting linguistic processing. We will also determine how well objective electrophysiology biomarkers will improve the prediction of language outcomes following epilepsy surgery. This project …
Brain Activity in Epilepsy
Prospective interventional study with implantation of micro-electrodes to study the brain networks in epilepsy at high spatiotemporal resolution.
Telephone-Based Support Programs for People With Epilepsy
This is a two-arm randomized controlled trial to compare telephone-based depression self-management (UPLIFT) to telephone-based support groups (BOOST). A sample of 120 Englishand Spanish-speaking people with epilepsy (PWE) with elevated depressive symptoms will be enrolled. Both interventions are 8-week programs delivered in one-hour weekly sessions to groups of about 6 …
Intracranial Stimulation Mapping In Epilepsy
This is a single group prospective study to determine the feasibility for generating brain maps that localize cerebral functions and inter-regional information flow in partial epilepsy in adult patients.
Human Intracranial Electrophysiology
This study will enroll patients with epilepsy who are being evaluated for epilepsy surgery and have electrodes implanted in the brain and/or have electrodes on the scalp. Additionally, this study will recruit normal and online controls (participants who do not have epilepsy). Participants will be asked to participate in 1 …
