Sleep-Sensitive Seizure Risk Assessment with Wearable EEGs
This study is looking at how sleep affects seizures in people with intractable epilepsy (seizures that are hard to control with medicine). Researchers are using a wearable device called the Dreem headband, which measures brain activity (EEG), to understand the connection between sleep patterns and seizure risk over 21 days. The goal is to see how changes in your sleep might lead to seizures and to create a way to predict your individual risk for sleep-sensitive seizures. You might be able to join if you are over 18, have at least two seizures per week, and your medications will stay stable during the study. The study will measure your total sleep time, how often certain brain waves (spikes) occur, and how often you have seizures each night.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 35 participants to investigate the relationship between sleep and seizures using a wearable device.
- What's involved
- Participants will use the Dreem headband for an extended observation period of 21 days.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary measurements for this study are taken at 21 days.
