Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Subcutaneous EEG in Epilepsy - Proof of Concept and Clinical Applications
The study is a two-phase study, which aims to explore the uses of a novel electrode type in detecting epileptic seizures. The electrode is designed for subcutaneous implantation with long-term monitoring in mind.
The problem of unrecognized seizures is common for certain types of epilepsy.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an excellent method for seizure identification and
recognition, but until now, it has not been feasible to perform EEG recordings for more than
a few days outside a hospital or laboratory. A novel device has been developed, which might
remedy that. The device is a EEG-electrode for subcutaneous implantation connected to an
external data storage device.
The investigators in this study hypothesize that this device might be a useful tool for
ultra-long-term epilepsy monitoring. The study aims to investigate that. While the device
might be used to diagnose epilepsy, it is more likely to be a good seizure counting tool and
that is what the study aims to determine.
Subjects include patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and high seizure frequency.
These will have the device implanted. Study phase 1 is a proof of concept to determine
whether the device is actually able to detect epileptic seizures. This will take place during
admission and be performed as simultaneous recordings with ordinary scalp EEG and the
investigational device. Study phase 2 is a home monitoring to prove that devices actually
provides clinically useful information regarding seizures in an outpatient setting.
The study requires 9 visits from each subject over the course of 4-6 months. The
investigational device will be explanted after approximately 75 days of wear.
