A Pivotal, Phase III Trial of Detecting Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures With a Seizure Detection and Warning System in Epilepsy Patients
This is a phase III, pilot, prospective study of an Electromyography (EMG) based seizure
detection system for detecting Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures (GTCS) in the home.
detection system for detecting Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures (GTCS) in the home.
The Brain Sentinelâ„¢ Seizure Detection and Warning System is intended for monitoring children
and adults with a history or significant risk of generalized tonic-clonic seizures in the
home or healthcare facilities, during the titration or withdrawal of anti-epileptic drugs,
and for continuous monitoring (night time or any other time of day) of individuals due to
their history or risk of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The device will withstand
activities of daily living including showers and sleep.
