Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This study investigates the potential for temporally-interfering electric field stimulation (TIEFS) to treat epilepsy. In this case series within and between subjects design, the impact of TIEFS on epilepsy biomarkers was studied in patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy. Secondary analyses examine the underlying physiological effects of TIEF on local brain activity and brain networks.

Eligibility Criteria

This clinical trial is for individuals with medial temporal lobe epilepsy. Specific details about who can join are not provided, but typically participants must meet certain health criteria and may need to have a specific form of the condition being studied.

Inclusion Criteria

I am undergoing a brain EEG study that involves inserting electrodes.

Exclusion Criteria

Participant Groups

The study is examining temporally-interfering electric field stimulation (TIEFS) as a treatment for epilepsy. It looks at how TIEFS affects epilepsy biomarkers and brain activity in patients, using both within-subject and between-subjects comparisons.
