Study Of Daily Listening To Music For Drug-Resistant Epilepsy

Description

Seeking adults with a responsive neurostimulation device (RNS) implanted for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) for a study of whether listening to specific music daily causes any change in brain electrical signals/activity or seizure symptoms.

Overview

Participants in this study will be asked to listen to a specific 5-10 minute study music recording every day for up to 2 weeks followed by up to 2 weeks of no study music over the 18 week study. Participants will keep a diary of their epilepsy symptoms and upload data from their RNS device. There are up to 3 in-person visits.

What we're hoping for

We are studying whether listening to specific music daily causes any change in brain electrical signals/activity or drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) symptoms.
