Study Summary

This trial will improve access of Veterans with epilepsy living in rural areas to the most important diagnostic procedure for the care of patients with epilepsy: the routine electroencephalogram (EEG).

Who is the study for?

This trial is for veterans with epilepsy who have had an EEG at a VA facility within the last five years and are scheduled for an outpatient EEG. It's not suitable for individuals with weave hairstyles, as this could interfere with the equipment.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new dry electrode headset designed to record EEGs without needing a specialist technician. This device could enable nurses or assistants to perform EEGs in rural clinics, potentially improving access and reducing costs.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There are no direct side effects mentioned from using the novel dry electrode headset; however, discomfort or skin irritation may occur due to wearing the device.
