Where the trials are

Listed sites in each state and territory. Choose one to show only the trials with a site there, and choose it again to show them all.

17 listed sites on this page do not say which state they are in, so the counts above are lower than the real number of sites in some states. The trials themselves are all listed below.

Trials for Epilepsy

21 of 21 trials shown.

This Australian count is likely to be on the low side. It counts the trials this site files under this condition; the registry’s own search is broader and also returns closely related conditions, some of which have their own page here. If you are searching widely, check the registry as well — every trial below links to its own record.

Trials not shown here

Some Australian trials are registered only on the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry and are not shown here. Search them at Australian Clinical Trials.

Trials overseas

476 trials for this condition are open to new participants outside Australia, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on 11 October 2026. Voxsanity does not publish a page for any of them; the searches below reach them at the registry.

These overseas counts are likely too high. They come from the registry’s own search, which expands a condition name to related conditions, so some of the trials counted are for a different disease in the same family.

About Epilepsy

The text below is reproduced exactly as its source published it. It has not been edited, shortened or rewritten.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures. The seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain send out the wrong signals. People may have strange sensations and emotions or behave strangely. They may have violent muscle spasms or lose consciousness. Epilepsy has many possible causes, including illness, brain injury, and abnormal brain development. In many cases, the cause is unknown. Doctors use brain scans and other tests to diagnose epilepsy. It is important to start treatment right away. There is no cure for epilepsy, but medicines can control seizures for most people. When medicines are not working well, surgery or implanted devices such as vagus nerve stimulators may help. Special diets can help some children with epilepsy.

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.

Not medical advice.

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.

Questions to ask your doctor

General questions, the same on every condition page. Print this page to take them with you.

Is a clinical trial something I should consider at this point?
What would taking part involve week to week?
What are the risks, and what happens if I change my mind?
Would being in a trial change the care I get now?
Who would I see, and how far would I need to travel?
Are there costs, and is travel or time off work covered?
Can you refer me, or do I contact the trial site myself?

Is a medicine on the PBS?

Search the PBS on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme's own website. Voxsanity does not publish PBS listings.

Where to get support

A few organisations support people with epilepsy, and which suits you may depend on where you live: Epilepsy Action Australia runs the National Epilepsy Line and national services; Epilepsy Australia is a national coalition of state associations; and the Epilepsy Foundation operates in Victoria and NSW.
