Epilepsy
Plain English clinical trial information, updated daily from ClinicalTrials.gov and public government registries. Not medical advice.
How these figures are counted
- Trials on record is every trial tagged to this condition at any stage, except those withdrawn before starting or terminated early. Most are completed rather than ongoing, so this is a measure of research history, not of current activity. It is also smaller than the sitewide "trials tracked" figure, which does include withdrawn and terminated trials.
- Recruiting now counts only trials whose registry status is "Recruiting". Trials listed as not yet recruiting or enrolling by invitation are excluded, so this understates how many may open to new participants soon.
- Australian sites counts trials counted under "Recruiting now" that list at least one Australian site. A site being listed does not mean it is currently enrolling, and Australian trials registered only on ANZCTR are not counted yet, so this understates local availability.
- Phase 3 trials counts trials counted under "Recruiting now" that are at Phase 3.

Understanding Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain, causing a person to have repeated seizures. A seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of unusual electrical activity in the brain, which can briefly change how a person moves, thinks, feels, or behaves. Seizures can look very different from person to person. Some people shake or lose consciousness, while others might simply stare blankly for a few seconds or experience a strange feeling or smell. Epilepsy is not a single condition but rather a broad term that covers many different types, each with their own patterns and causes.
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions in Australia, affecting around 250,000 people across all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. It can begin at any age, though it is most often diagnosed in young children and in older adults. In many cases, doctors cannot find a specific cause, while in others, epilepsy may be linked to things like a brain injury, a stroke, an infection, or genetics. Being diagnosed with epilepsy can feel overwhelming, but it is important to know that many people with the condition live full and active lives.
Treatment for epilepsy generally focuses on reducing or stopping seizures. The most common approach is medication, and there are many different types available. Because epilepsy varies so much between individuals, finding the right medication or combination can take some time. For some people whose seizures are not controlled by medication, other options such as surgery, dietary therapies, or medical devices that stimulate the brain may be considered. A specialist neurologist will work with the person to understand their specific type of epilepsy and discuss what options may be suitable for their situation.

Advocacy and support in Australia
Organisations that can offer information, support, or connection for Epilepsy. Where more than one is listed, they serve different needs or regions, so choose whichever fits your situation.
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.
This is a starting point, not medical advice or an endorsement. Contact details change; search the organisation name to find its current website.
