This will be a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-center, pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) neuromodulation using NaviFUS System in patients with drug-resistant unilateral or bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (DR-TLE).
NCT07130786
This is a randomized trial for patients with brain metastases in the primary motor cortex who have not had seizures to receive either the prophylactic anti-seizure medication levetiracetam (also known by its trade name Keppra) or proceed with standard of care management, which does not currently include prophylactic levetiracetam. Patients who enroll to this trial will be randomized to receive prophylactic levetiracetam or not receive prophylactic levetiracetam.
NCT05667142
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of XEN1101 administered as adjunctive treatment in primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTCS).
NCT07257705
This study is testing a new mobile application called the OASES App, developed by the University of Milano-Bicocca. The App is designed to help frontline clinicians (nurses, clinical officers, and nursing assistants) provide faster and more accurate emergency care for patients with life-threatening conditions such as severe diarrhea, breathing difficulties, and seizures. The OASES App guides clinicians step by step through internationally recognized emergency care guidelines, including triage, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. It is intended to be used offline on a tablet, making it suitable for rural hospitals with limited resources. This is a pilot study to understand whether the App improves the way clinicians manage simulated emergency cases compared to standard practice. About 16 clinicians at Dr. Ambrosoli Memorial Hospital, Kalongo, Uganda will take part in structured simulation exercises using realistic patient scenarios. Each participant will manage cases with and without the App, so that the two approaches can be compared. The main goal is to evaluate whether the App helps clinicians follow evidence-based guidelines more consistently. Other goals include measuring accuracy of triage, diagnosis, and treatment decisions, as well as the time needed to complete cases and clinicians' perceptions of usability, trust, and feasibility. No real patients will be involved in this study. All scenarios are simulations conducted in a safe, controlled environment. The results will help refine the App and inform the design of a larger study in the future.

NCT07274410
Neonatal convulsions are seizures that occur during the first 28 days of a newborn's life. They are considered a medical emergency and often indicate an underlying problem in the brain, such as lack of oxygen at birth, infections, metabolic disturbances, or structural abnormalities. Many seizures in newborns are subtle and difficult to detect without careful clinical assessment. This study aims to determine how often neonatal convulsions occur among newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Assiut University Children Hospital. It will describe how affected newborns present clinically, identify the main causes, and evaluate the early outcomes during hospitalization. The study is designed as a prospective cohort study. Newborns aged 0-30 days who are diagnosed with neonatal convulsions will be enrolled and followed throughout their stay in the NICU. Each patient will undergo full clinical evaluation and standard laboratory and imaging investigations, including blood tests, neuroimaging, and other tests as clinically indicated. The findings of this study will provide updated local data on the incidence, causes, and outcomes of neonatal convulsions in our region. This information may help improve early diagnosis, guide appropriate treatment, and enhance the quality of neonatal care.
NCT03492060
The purpose of this study is to analyze patterns in individuals with hnRNP (and other) genetic variants, including their neurological comorbidities, other medical problems and any treatment. The investigators will maintain an ongoing database of medical data that is otherwise being collected for routine medical care. The investigators will also collect data prospectively in the form of questionnaires, neuropsychological assessments, motor assessments, and electroencephalography to examine the landscape of deleterious variants in these genes.
NCT07141329
This is a Phase 2b open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of SPN-817.
NCT05594017
The goal of this study is to learn about the effects of scopolamine (an anticholinergic drug) on areas of the brain involved in memory, and changes it may have on brain activity. The investigators will do this by testing epileptic patients who are already undergoing intracranial surgery for seizure monitoring, and measuring the activity from the brain areas being assessed. The main questions it aims to answer are 1) whether scopolamine changes memory activity solely at encoding (the time when the person perceives and determines to remember an item or event) as has previously been found, or if it also can selectively impact retrieval (when the item or event which has been processed is recalled or remembered), and 2) what the nature of the brain activity changes is. Participants will complete two treatment arms. One of these will be with the drug, and the other will be with a saline solution, so that the participants are unaware which session the actual drug has been received. Patients will complete a verbal and/or spatial task each of the two days. An anesthesiologist will administer either the drug or the saline at a critical point which addresses both of the research questions. Researchers will compare the brain activity between the two treatment arms to determine what brain activity changes, and at what time point during memory formation.
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.
NCT05121324
The Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizures in Emergency Medical Services (PediDOSE) study is designed to improve how paramedics treat seizures in children on ambulances. Seizures are one of the most common reasons why people call an ambulance for a child, and paramedics typically administer midazolam to stop the seizure. One-third of children with active seizures on ambulances arrive at emergency departments still seizing. Prior research suggests that seizures on ambulances continue due to under-dosing and delayed delivery of medication. Under-dosing happens when calculation errors occur, and delayed medication delivery occurs due to the time required for dose calculation and placement of an intravenous line to give the medication. Seizures stop quickly when standardized medication doses are given as a muscular injection or a nasal spray. This research has primarily been done in adults, and evidence is needed to determine if this is effective and safe in children. PediDOSE optimizes how paramedics choose the midazolam dose by eliminating calculations and making the dose age-based. This study involves changing the seizure treatment protocols for ambulance services in 20 different cities, in a staggered and randomly-assigned manner. One aim of PediDOSE is to determine if using age to select one of four standardized doses of midazolam and giving it as a muscular injection or nasal spray is more effective than the current calculation-based method, as measured by the number of children arriving at emergency departments still seizing. The investigators believe that a standardized seizure protocol with age-based doses is more effective than current practice. Another aim of PediDOSE is to determine if a standardized seizure protocol with age-based doses is just as safe as current practice, since either ongoing seizures or receiving too much midazolam can interfere with breathing. The investigators believe that a standardized seizure protocol with age-based doses is just as safe as current practice, since the seizures may stop faster and these doses are safely used in children in other healthcare settings. If this study demonstrates that standardized, age-based midazolam dosing is equally safe and more effective in comparison to current practice, the potential impact of this study is a shift in the treatment of pediatric seizures that can be easily implemented in ambulance services across the United States and in other parts of the world.
NCT06038617
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the safety of COVID-19 vaccination and other routine childhood vaccines given simultaneously at Visit 1, as compared to sequential vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines at separate visits (Visits 1 and 2).
NCT05738226
The goal of this clinical trial is to validate a wearable seizure monitoring device, EpiCare@Home, as an objective seizure monitoring tool for people with focal onset epileptic seizures. The device continuously records brain, cardiorespiratory, and physical activity data. The study aims to 1) collect benchmark data for seizure detection algorithm development and validation, and 2) evaluate the performance of the device in clinical and at home workflows. Participants will wear the device during a routine Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) admission. Additionally, they can continue wearing the device at home after the EMU admission.
