Study Summary

This trial will study the brain's electrical activity and stimulate certain areas during epilepsy surgery monitoring to understand cognitive control.

Who is the study for?

This study is for adult patients at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center who are already getting EEG monitoring for epilepsy treatment and can consent to participate. It excludes minors, those with cognitive or physical impairments affecting test participation, non-English speakers, pregnant women, and prisoners.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study involves brain stimulation while recording EEG in participants. It aims to understand how stimulating certain brain areas affects cognitive control but isn't designed as a treatment trial for any condition.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is not a clinical trial for a new treatment but rather an observational study involving standard procedures, specific side effects related to interventions like brain stimulation are not detailed.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Electrical stimulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will receive brief electrical brain stimulation as they perform the study tasks. This will be linked to events occurring on screen and/or to specific changes in their brain activity. The stimulation parameters will be individualized for each participant, but will never exceed safe limits for charge density (30 µC/phase). They will always be tested beforehand to ensure that they do not cause participants any discomfort or distress.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this trial encompass participants of advanced age?

"This trial permits those aged 18 and over, up to the maximum age of 70."

Answered by AI

Who is eligible to enroll in this clinical research?

"This trial is searching for 5 individuals with compromised cognition aged between 18 to 70. Notably, the University of Cincinnati Medical Centre requires that potential participants are currently undergoing electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring as part of a pharmacologically resilient epileptic treatment procedure."

Answered by AI

Is this research endeavor currently open to new participants?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov provides evidence that this research is still recruiting individuals, with the first post date being June 20th 2022 and last update on February 13th 2023. It requires 5 subjects to be recruited from 1 healthcare facility."

Answered by AI

What is the current enrollment size for this clinical trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov contains information suggesting that recruitment for this study is currently underway, having been initiated on June 20th 2022 and last updated February 13rd 2023. There are 5 vacancies available at a single clinical site."
