Featured Epilepsy Studies

The following are epilepsy studies that apply to particular groups within the Seizure Tracker™ population. Click a title to expand its details.
STARS
The STARS study is searching for people who experience prolonged epileptic seizures (i.e. lasting more than 3 minutes) to join this clinical research study. The STARS Study is testing an inhaler containing an investigational drug that has been designed to potentially stop a prolonged seizure once it has begun.

If you or the person you care for are experiencing prolonged seizures, consider participating in the STARS study.

Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance
The TSC Biosample Repository stores samples of blood, DNA, and tissues from individuals affected by TSC that scientists can use in their research. The samples we collect are linked to clinical data in the TSC Natural History Database. These samples and linked clinical data help researchers conduct experiments to find biomarkers of TSC, test potential drug treatments, and determine why TSC is so different from person to person.

Implemented in 2006, the TSC Natural History Database captures clinical data to document the impact of the disease on a person’s health over his or her lifetime. More than 2,000 people with TSC are enrolled in the project across 18 U.S.-based clinical sites and the TSC Alliance. The TSC Alliance provides funding to participating clinics to perform data entry, monitors the integrity of the database, and makes data available to investigators to answer specific research questions and identify potential participants for clinical trials and studies.
Description: Study design is a Phase IIb prospective multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The goal will be to enroll 80 infants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex who are less than 6 months of age prior to the onset of their first seizure.

Status Epilepticus in the Critically Ill Patients
Brief Summary: Convulsive and Non Convulsive Status Epilepticus (SE) and Pseudo Status Epilepticus prospective registry. Data collection using a standardized form : demographic data and data related to the SE, including circumstances of onset, dates and times of onset and of seizure control, on-scene clinical findings, clinical features of the seizures, pre-hospital and hospital care providers, timing of antiepileptic and supportive treatments, results of etiological investigations, cause of SE, type and dosage of antiepileptic drugs. Dates and times of EEG monitoring, EEG results. Outcomes including vital status and Glasgow Outcome Scale score at ICU and hospital discharge, day-90 and 1-year after SE and determined based on data in the ICU and/or neurologist charts and/or patients phone interview.

Oxygen Toxicity: Mechanisms in Humans
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the mechanisms of oxygen toxicity in scuba divers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does the training of respiratory muscles affect oxygen toxicity? * How do environmental factors, such as sleep deprivation, the ingestion of commonly utilized medications, and chronic exposure to carbon dioxide, impact the risk of oxygen toxicity? * How does immersion in water affect the development of oxygen toxicity? Participants will be asked to do the following: * Undergo a basic screening exam composed of health history, vital signs, and some respiratory function tests * Train their respiratory muscles at regular intervals * Exercise on a cycle ergometer both in dry conditions and underwater/under pressure in the context of medication, sleep deprivation, or carbon dioxide exposure Researchers will compare the performance of each subject before and after the possible interventions described above to see if there are changes in exercise performance, respiratory function, cerebral blood flow, and levels of gene expression.

Effect of Early Prosthetic Fitting in Patients With Below-knee Amputation
Brief Summary: A randomized control trial of 50 patients to identify the effect of early prosthetic fitting and physical rehabilitation. Previous studies show a significant impact of early induction of prosthetic rehabilitation of amputation. Delayed rehabilitation may cause severe physical complications like joint contracture, and muscle strength loss.

Effects of Associated Impairments on Activity and Participation in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Brief Summary: This study will investigate the effects of associated impairments on the activity levels and social participation of school-aged children with Cerebral Palsy (aged 6-12) and their impact on their families' quality of life and caregiving burden.

Real-World Study of Magnetic Resonance-guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Drug-resistant Epilepsy
Brief Summary: The goal of the real-world study is to evaluate the long-term seizure control outcomes, postoperative complications, long term impact on cognitive, memory function outcomes, quality-of-life measures, and healthcare resource utilization of magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) on patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).

Multi-level Approach of Brain Activity Using Intracranial Electrodes in Epileptic Patients
Brief Summary: The main goal of this project is to study the mechanisms of epileptic activities using intracranial macro and micro electrodes in epileptic patients undergoing pre-surgical investigation. The recordings will also be used to study physiological mechanisms like sleep and different cognitive functions.

Subjective and Audiological Benefit of BONEBRIDGE (BCI602) With Two Different Fitting Strategies
Brief Summary: The Bonebridge (BB) is a partially implantable active transcutaneous bone conduction hearing system manufactured by MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria). The BB augments hearing by providing acoustic input to the inner ear via bone conduction. In 2017 Hodgetts \& Scollie introduced a new fitting algorithm called DSL-BCD. The DSL-BCD algorithm was developed especially for the characteristics of bone conduction devices (BCD). If there is a benefit on the patient level in hearing outcomes when comparing the application of DSL-BCD in comparison to DSL v5 when using the BB, was not yet investigated. The aim of this clinical study is to show the improvement in audiological performance and subjective satisfaction with the BCI602 and SAMBA 2 audio processor in patients with conductive hearing loss compared to the unaided condition and to evaluate performance differences through application of 2 different fitting algorithms, namely DSL v5 and DSL-BCD.

Transcranial Electric Stimulation Therapy (TEST) for Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD)
Brief Summary: Background: People with TRD are often helped by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). But ECT can affect memory and thinking. Researchers want to study a treatment called TEST that uses less electricity. Objective: To study the safety and feasibility of TEST and assess its antidepressant effects. Eligibility: Adults aged 25-64 with major depression that has not been relieved by current treatments. Design: Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 5 18 weeks over 2 3 treatment phases. Their medications may be adjusted. Participants will be interviewed about their depression, side effects, and other treatments they are receiving. They will complete questionnaires. They will give blood and urine samples. Their brain waves and heart rhythm will be recorded. They will take tests of memory, attention, mental functioning, and thinking. Participants will have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the head and brain. They will lie on a table that slides in and out of the scanner. Pictures of brain chemicals will also be taken. They may complete tasks during the MRI. Participants will receive TEST and/or sham treatments. They may receive optional ECT. An intravenous catheter will be placed in an arm vein to receive general anesthesia. Two electrodes will be placed on the front of their head. An electric current will be passed from the ECT machine through the electrodes. For sham treatments, they will not receive the electric current. Their breathing, heart rate, brain function, blood pressure, and body movements will be measured. Participants will have 7 follow-up visits over 6 months. Visits can be done via telehealth. Participation will last for up to 42 weeks.

Why Participate in Clinical Trials?
  • The treatments for seizures will not improve without patients participating in research.
  • Clinical trials help us understand if a promising new medication or device is safe.
  • Participating in a research study may give you access to a therapy not available to others with epilepsy.
  • Clinical trials not only research medication, they can also focus on disease prevention and quality of life.
