  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study will involve two groups of subjects: 1. Physicians (faculty and trainees), who will be asked to fill out a nonsensitive questionnaire. These are members of Epilepsy and Neuro-ICU team (attendings, fellows, or residents) who are actively involved in the care of patients and know the patient's history of present illness. 2. Patients undergoing clinically ordered EEGs.

About this study

This study is designed as a prospective, non-randomized, observational, multicenter clinical trial. The primary aim of this study is to observe if the use of the rapid responds electroencephalography (EEG) system impacts physician decision making. Secondary aims include exploring the safety and performance information of the Ceribell EEG system compared to conventional EEG system. The study will recruit physicians (Faculty physicians and Trainees) at up to five institutions and examine the impact of rapid response EEG when providing care to patients in whom EEG recording has been ordered for clinical reasons.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ceribell Rapid Response EEG, SurveyDevice

    This trial will qualitatively examine how information from rapid response and conventional EEG data changes physicians' diagnostic suspicion or their treatment decisions and confidence levels. In addition, the results will examine the mean time to EEG lead placement, and ease of use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in physicians' diagnosis decision

    Physician will record their diagnostic assessment of seizure in Yes or No.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Change in physicians' diagnosis confidence

    Physician will rate their diagnosis confidence with a score between 1 to 5

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Change in physicians' treatment decision

    Physician will record their treatment decision in Yes or No.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Change in physicians' treatment confidence

    Physician will rate their treatment confidence with a score between 1 to 5

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time from order to EEG arrival

    Time from EEG order to EEG arrival will be recorded for both Ceribell EEG and conventional EEG

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Set up time

    Time from EEG arrival to the first EEG recording will be recorded for both Ceribell EEG and conventional EEG

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Ease of use

    Ease of use will be recorded with a score of 1-5

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Signal Quality of EEG

    Signal Quality of Ceribell EEG as measured with Hjorth parameters (Hjorth Activity, Hjorth Mobility, Hjorth Complexity) will be compared to signal quality of conventional EEG acquired from the same patients

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus and Seizures, run by Ceribell Inc. at 5 sites in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 20 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

Change in physicians' diagnosis decision (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03534258, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Aug 2019.
