Trials for Partial Seizures Patients
Procedure
tDCS for Focal Epilepsy
Recruiting0 awards9 criteria
Nashville, Tennessee
This trial tests the STARSTIM device, which sends small electrical currents to the brain, on epilepsy patients over 9 years old who have focal seizures. The goal is to see if this device can help reduce their seizures. Patients will use the device regularly for a short period and be monitored for a few months afterward.
Device
Brain Stimulation for Epilepsy
Recruiting1 awardPhase < 1
Stanford, California
This trial will test whether a brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce seizures and EEG spikes. tDCS will be done at home, and participants will be randomly assigned to either receive real tDCS or a fake (placebo) version.
Neurostimulation Device
Brain Monitoring and Stimulation Device for Epilepsy
Recruiting1 award20 criteria
Rochester, Minnesota
This trial tests a brain implant and handheld device to monitor and prevent seizures in patients with specific types of epilepsy. The system detects seizures and uses electrical pulses to stop them, learning from the data it collects. There is now experimental and clinical evidence that direct electrical stimulation of the brain can prevent or decrease seizure activity.
Adjunctive Therapy
XEN1101 for Epilepsy
Recruiting0 awardsPhase 2
Birmingham, Alabama
This trial tests XEN1101, a new medication, in adults with focal epilepsy who still have seizures despite taking other anti-epileptic drugs. The goal is to see if XEN1101 can better control their seizures by working with their current medications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
