About this study

Official title: Electrohaemodynamic Activity in Epileptic Children: Combined Video-EEG and Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Analysis

Evaluate the contribution of multimodal high-resolution EEG-NIRS electrical and local haemodynamic analysis to spatial localization of epileptogenic foci

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to evaluate the contribution of multimodal high-resolution EEG-NIRS electrical and local haemodynamic analysis (HR-EEG, HR-NIRS) to spatial localization of epileptogenic foci in order to perform multimodal mapping and localization of interictal spikes (by HR-EEG source reconstruction) with the clinical prospects of guiding the SEEG electrode implantation strategy prior to surgery in children with drug-refractory partial epilepsy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. multimodal high-resolution EEG-NIRS

    to evaluate the contribution of multimodal high-resolution EEG-NIRS electrical and local haemodynamic analysis (HR-EEG, HR-NIRS) to spatial localization of epileptogenic foci in order to perform multimodal mapping and localization of interictal spikes (by HR-EEG source reconstruction) with the clinical prospects of guiding the SEEG electrode implantation strategy prior to surgery in children with drug-refractory partial epilepsy.

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional MRI

    to analyse the temporal dynamics of haemodynamic changes surrounding epileptic spikes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epilepsy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

multimodal high-resolution EEG-NIRS (time frame: Day 0). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
