NCT05273970
This study will utilize computerized algorithms in combination with real-time intracranial neurophysiological and neurochemical recordings and microstimulation to measure cognitive and affective behavior in humans. Questionnaires or simple behavioral tasks (game-like tasks on a computer or an iPad) may also be given to additionally characterize subjects on related cognitive or affective components. Importantly, for the purposes of understanding the function of the human brain, neural activity can be recorded and probed (i.e. microstimulation) while subjects are performing the same computerized cognitive and affective tasks. These surgeries allow for the in vivo examination of human neurophysiology and are a rare opportunity for such research. The questionnaires and assessments proposed will provide insights into disorders (and anxiety, depression) and psychological status that we hope to understand in relation to the neurochemistry measures. They will also provide baseline information that may be used to characterize and group the population to further refine our understanding of the neural responses. In addition to computerized testing, we plan to characterize subjects' behavior on related cognitive or affective components. Some neuropsychological questionnaires, many of which are administered for clinical reasons, may also be given to patients and healthy control subjects. All patients undergoing epilepsy surgery or deep brain stimulation undergo a standard clinical neuropsychological battery to assess aspects of cognitive function. This is a regular aspect of their clinical assessment carried out prior to consideration for study inclusion. All participants are selected uniformly because they are undergoing surgery for intracranial electrode implantation. No particular ethnic group or population is targeted by or excluded from the study. Those to be considered for inclusion in the proposed study performing more than 2 standard deviations below the mean on any aspect of cognitive functioning as determined by standard preoperative neuropsychological testing will be excluded from the study.
NCT07281027
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether two existing medications-anakinra and tocilizumab-can effectively treat a rare and life-threatening brain condition called NORSE (New-Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus). NORSE causes continuous seizures in previously healthy children and adults and does not respond to standard treatments. It often leads to long-term disability or death. Doctors currently use anakinra and tocilizumab as second-line treatments when first-line therapies fail, but there is no clear evidence showing which drug works better or when it should be given. This study aims to answer those questions. The study will enroll patients across 33 hospitals in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. It includes two groups: 1. Randomized Cohort Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either anakinra or tocilizumab within the first 7 days of their illness. Only patients whose doctors were already planning to use one of these medications as part of standard care will be eligible for randomization. Researchers will monitor their recovery and compare outcomes between the two treatments. 2. Observational Cohort Patients who cannot be randomized-usually because they were diagnosed too late-will still be followed to study how the timing of treatment affects recovery. Participants will: * Receive one of the two medications (depending on their group assignment). * Take part in follow-up assessments over the course of one year, including medical evaluations and surveys. Some participants may be followed annually beyond one year. * Optionally participate in a 60-minute interview to share their or their caregiver's experience with NORSE.
NCT06422923

NCT04519645
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of lacosamide (LCM) versus an Active Comparator chosen based on standard of care (StOC) in severe and nonsevere seizure burden (defined as total minutes of electroencephalographic neonatal seizures (ENS) per hour) in neonates with seizures that are not adequately controlled with previous anti-epileptic drug (AED) treatment.
NCT04244175
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if CVL-865, when taken regularly with other anti-seizure medicines, works to prevent seizures in adults with drug-resistant focal onset seizures. It will also learn about the safety of CVL-865. The main question it aims to answer is whether CVL-865, when taken regularly with other anti-seizure medicines, lowers the number of seizures in those with a diagnosis of epilepsy with drug-resistant focal onset seizures. This study has an 8-week Screening/Baseline Period, a 13-week Treatment Period (including a 2-week Titration Phase, an 8-week Maintenance Phase, and a 3-week Taper Phase), and a 4-week Safety Follow-Up Period. Participants will take CVL-865 or a placebo twice a day during the 10-13 week Treatment Period, visit the clinic every few weeks for checkups, tests, and surveys, and fill out an e-Diary.
NCT04141891
This Stage II randomized, controlled, longitudinal trial seeks to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of a driving decision aid use among geriatric patients and providers. This multi-site trial will (1) test the driving decision aid (DDA) in improving decision making and quality (knowledge, decision conflict, values concordance and behavior intent); and (2) determine its effects on specific subpopulations of older drivers (stratified for cognitive function, decisional capacity, and attitudinally readiness for a mobility transition). The overarching hypotheses are that the DDA will help older adults make high-quality decisions, which will mitigate the negative psychosocial impacts of driving reduction, and that optimal DDA use will target certain populations and settings.
NCT01364597

NCT04457687
The primary purpose of this study is to provide continued access of lorcaserin to participants with Dravet syndrome and other refractory epilepsies.
NCT04344626
Refractory epilepsy, meaning epilepsy that no longer responds to medication, is a common neurosurgical indication in children. In such cases, surgery is the treatment of choice. Complete resection of affected brain tissue is associated with highest probability of seizure freedom. However, epileptogenic brain tissue is visually identical to normal brain tissue, complicating complete resection. Modern investigative methods are of limited use. An important subjective assessment during surgery is that affected brain tissue feels stiffer, however there is presently no way to determine this without committing to resecting the affected area. It is hypothesized that intra-operative use of a tonometer (Diaton) will identify abnormal brain tissue stiffness in affected brain relative to normal brain. This will help identify stiffer brain regions without having to resect them. The objective is to determine if intra-operative use of a tonometer to measure brain tissue stiffness will offer additional precision in identifying epileptogenic lesions. In participants with refractory epilepsy, various locations on the cerebral cortex will be identified using standard pre-operative investigations like magnetic resonance imagin (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). These are areas of presumed normal and abnormal brain where the tonometer will be used during surgery to measure brain tissue stiffness. Brain tissue stiffness measurements will then be compared with results of routine pre-operative and intra-operative tests. Such comparisons will help determine if and to what extent intra-operative brain tissue stiffness measurements correlate with other tests and help identify epileptogenic brain tissue. 24 participants have already undergone intra-operative brain tonometry. Results in these participants are encouraging: abnormally high brain tissue stiffness measurements have consistently been identified and significantly associated with abnormal brain tissue. If the tonometer adequately identifies epileptogenic brain tissue through brain tissue stiffness measurements, it is possible that resection of identified tissue could lead to better post-operative outcomes, lowering seizure recurrences and neurological deficits.
