Filter by:The goal of this study is to characterize the ability of the NextSense ear-EEG device to detect pathologic electrographic signatures of epilepsy and physiologic signatures of sleep in subjects undergoing simultaneous inpatient continuous EEG monitoring, polysomnography, or ambulatory EEG monitoring at home.
Therapeutic thermocoagulation will be carried out in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy in cases where an epileptogenic zone is found and proven according to stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) data.
Eargo, Inc. has developed a hearing aid that contains self-fitting gain software that allows adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss to test their hearing sensitivity and program hearing aids to match their measured hearing loss. Traditionally, hearing aids are custom programmed by a hearing health professional based on a professional hearing test. This technology has the potential to improve affordability and accessibility of hearing aids for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. We propose to validate Eargo's self-fitting software in a clinical trial comparing self-fitting hearing aid outcomes to the same hearing aid fit by a professional following usual clinical best practice for fitting hearing aids.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) versus treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), in patients with diagnosis of Functional Neurological Non Epileptic Seizure Disorder (PNES).
The purpose of this study is to see if the use of wireless brain wave monitoring can be helpful for newborns and help their medical providers identify seizures earlier and to monitor for the risk for seizures.
Main objective: Compare the recognition of environmental sounds with an anatomy-based fitting and with a default fitting adult patients newly implanted with a MED-EL cochlear implant. Secondary objectives: Compare speech recognition in quiet with an anatomy-based fitting and with a default fitting in adult patients newly implanted with a MED-EL cochlear implant. Compare speech recognition in noise with an anatomy-based fitting and with a default fitting in adult patients newly implanted with a MED-EL cochlear implant.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of carisbamate (YKP509) as adjunctive treatment in reducing the number of drop seizures (tonic, atonic, and tonic-clonic) compared with placebo in pediatric and adult subjects (age 4-55 years) diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).
The objective of this study is to determine the effects of the ketogenic diet on the frequency of non-epileptic seizures in patients with functional neurological symptoms disorder compared to a healthy diet.
Febrile seizures are one of the most common clinical diseases in pediatric neurology. It occurs between 6 months and 6 years of age and occurs in ~2-5% of children. According to the age, frequency, duration, and type of seizures FS is divided into simple febrile seizures and complex febrile seizures Differentiation between febrile seizures and non-ictal events associated with fever such as shivering or dizziness is challenging. Therefore, precise diagnosis of FS after paroxysmal episodes associated with fever is often hindered by the lack of an objective biomarker With the widespread application of technologies, such as molecular biology, in medicine, some biomarkers for predicting or diagnosing FS have attracted attention. Imuekemhe et al in 1989 and 1996 found that lactic acid in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of children with FS was significantly increased . Arginin-vasopressin hormone AVP released by the pituitary gland, has been shown to be involved in the thermoregulatory response to fever and convulsions Although AVP is unstable in the peripheral blood and, therefore, unsuited for diagnostic use the C-terminal portion of the AVP precursor copeptin has been recognized as a robust marker of AVP secretion . Wellman et al. found that the serum copeptin and Von Willebrand factor of children with FS were significantly higher than those of the control group .
This study investigates whether the sense of agency is sensitive to self-regulation by means of EEG-based neurofeedback. During neurofeedback, the brain activity in response to a motor task is recorded in real-time and displayed back to the participants. The participants can therefore use this information to adapt their performance on the motor task.
