Sleep Architecture & Cognition in Focal Epilepsy

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Focal Epilepsy

In brief

Focal Epilepsy (FE) patients and healthy controls will wear an actigraph at home for one week and a home sleep study device at home for one night. Participants will then undergo two nights of testing (at least one week apart) at California Sleep Solutions (CSS) in Sacramento, CA. During the overnight stays, participants will have EEG leads placed and possibly a headband. They will undergo cognitive testing before they go to sleep and again in the morning. During one night of testing, sounds will be played in the room (acoustic stimulation). The sounds should not wake the participants.
