RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL
Characterization and Analysis of Evoked Cortical Responses in Participants With Medication-intractable Epilepsy
About This Trial
The goal of this project is to study how the brain reacts to a small electrical signal. Researchers will be using a novel combination of recording electrodes. The researchers will measure the brain response from these electrodes.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
- Patients with medication intractable epilepsy who are recommended to undergo brain surgery to remove a "seizure" focus
- Can provide willing to sign a consent form for the study and willing to participate
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- Presence of a permanent electronic implant
- Any chronic medical conditions that prevent safe placement of electrodes
Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
