Study of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Treat Epilepsy

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to see to what extent electrical stimulation applied to the scalp (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) can reduce the number and intensity of epileptic seizures.

Clinical Trial Description

tDCS for treatment of epilepsy has been studied previously with results suggesting that it can lead to a notable seizure reduction for a limited time period after the cessation of stimulation, e.g., about one month. Here, we assess further aspects of tDCS treatment protocols, including the feasibility and safety of at-home use. ;
