Trial Outcomes & Findings for Optimal Stimulation Parameters to Disrupt Epileptiform Activity (NCT NCT06141668)

NCT ID: NCT06141668

Last Updated: 2026-09-02

Results Overview

Spike ripple rate \~ 1 + condition + (1\|subject) This is a within-subject repeated-measures study design analyzed using a generalized linear mixed-effects model. Effect size for each arm (+/- 95% confidence interval) reported below. Treatment response was assessed using the change in spike ripple rate (SR rate) relative to each subject's baseline. For each subject, the treatment response at each stimulation frequency (1 Hz, 20 Hz, 40 Hz, 140 Hz, and 200 Hz) was calculated by subtracting the subject's baseline SR rate from the SR rate measured after stimulation at that frequency. Positive values indicate an increase in SR Rate relative to baseline, whereas negative values indicate a decrease relative to baseline.
