RESEARCH TRIAL OPPORTUNITIES

Sometimes a doctor may recommend a clinical trial or you may learn about it on your own and ask to participate. If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial it is important to talk to the doctor and research team involved with the trial. You’ll need to learn about the study and whether you could be eligible for it. You may need to have some screening tests first to make sure that you are appropriate for the study. Here's a quick description you can use:

All federally and privately funded clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov, the official registry maintained by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Simply visit the site, enter a condition (such as "epilepsy"), and filter by age, location, study status, and other criteria to find trials that may be a good fit. Each listing includes eligibility requirements, study details, and contact information for the research team.

The Epilepsy Foundation also offers a dedicated clinical trials resource page with guidance specifically for people living with epilepsy — including how to evaluate a trial and what questions to ask your doctor.
