What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SPEAC SystemDevice
Also called Brain Sentinel Monitoring and Alerting System
Surface Electromyography (sEMG) based seizure monitoring and alerting system
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Group | Experimental | SPEAC System Receives: Device: SPEAC System |
| Standard of Care | No intervention | Standard of Care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Diagnostic Impact Form Questionnaire
The physician will complete this questionnaire after each 30 days of device use to determine if information acquired will change the physician's assessment of the patient's seizures and their treatment plan.
Measured: up to 5 months
Secondary outcomes (6)
Personal Impact of Epilepsy Scale (PIES) Survey
The PIES survey creates a composite score that can be used to assess the quality of life of patients with epilepsy, as well as sub-scales for assessing the quality of life in specific areas of life with epilepsy.
Measured: 1 year
VR-12 Survey
This measure has been used in cost-effectiveness analyses and can be used to calculate quality adjusted life years (QALY).
Measured: 1 year
Personal Impact of Epilepsy Scale (PIES) Survey
The PIES survey creates a composite score that can be used to assess the quality of life of patients with epilepsy, as well as sub-scales for assessing the quality of life in specific areas of life with epilepsy.
Measured: 5 years
VR-12 Survey
This measure has been used in cost-effectiveness analyses and can be used to calculate quality adjusted life years (QALY).
Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing SPEAC System in people with Epilepsy, run by Brain Sentinel.
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 7 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Diagnostic Impact Form Questionnaire (time frame: up to 5 months). 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 7 Feb 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
