Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

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

Study population: Patients with epilepsy referred to epilepsy monitoring unit.

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Diagnosed with epilepsy and expected to have at least one motor seizure in the EMU
  • Determined by the Investigator to be an acceptable candidate for epilepsy evaluation with intracranial or scalp electrode monitoring
  • Willing and able to wear 3 ActiGraph GT3X+ devices for the duration of their participation in the study and comply with the study protocol
  • Have one of the following seizure types: (a) partial seizures with secondary generalization, which results in visible clonic or tonic-clonic motor behavior; (b) primarily generalized seizures (in patients with either primary [idiopathic] or secondary [symptomatic] generalized epilepsy), which may involve the following depending on the motor manifestation observed: myoclonic seizures, clonic seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, or atonic seizures.
  • Be able to consent to participate by signing the Informed Consent document after a full explanation of the nature and purpose of this study
  • Male or non-pregnant female
  • English speaking

Who cannot join

  • Currently enrolled in another investigational device, drug, or surgery study. Concurrent physiologic study participation is acceptable
  • Have an implanted device that may interfere with GT3X+ recordings, ECoG/EEG recordings, ECG recordings, or video recordings
  • Have a movement disorder that may affect GT3X+ recordings

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01850498
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Partial seizuresPartial seizures with secondary generalization which results in visible clonic or tonic-clonic motor behavior
Generalized seizuresPrimarily generalized seizures (in patients with either primary [idiopathic] or secondary [symptomatic] generalized epilepsy), which may involve the following depending on the motor manifestation observed: myoclonic seizures, clonic seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, or atonic seizures.

What is being measured

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

  1. To identify and evaluate seizure characteristics derived from an accelerometer that can be used in development of a seizure detection algorithm (compared to EEG readings).

    Measured: While patients are being evaluated in an epilepsy monitoring unit.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate the accuracy of an accelerometer in identifying seizures (compared to EEG readings).

    Measured: While patients are being evaluated in an epilepsy monitoring unit.

  2. Evaluate whether certain seizure types are more capable of being identified by the accelerometer (compared to EEG readings).

    Measured: While patients are being evaluated in an epilepsy monitoring unit.

  3. Evaluate heart rate and rhythm changes associated with seizure onset (compared to ECG readings).

    Measured: While patients are being evaluated in an epilepsy monitoring unit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epilepsy, run by MedtronicNeuro at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 3 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 9 May 2013. 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 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?

To identify and evaluate seizure characteristics derived from an accelerometer that can be used in development of a seizure detection algorithm (compared to EEG readings). (time frame: While patients are being evaluated in an epilepsy monitoring unit.). 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 9 May 2013.
