Recording High Frequency Oscillations in Patients With Tumors and Epilepsy

Study Purpose

The investigators want to characterize high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) in intracranial recordings, which may occur as markers of epileptogenic tissue and also under physiological stimulation. The investigators want to show that recording of high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) is feasible in our project population both intraoperatively and during presurgical physiological conditions.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 99 Years
Gender	All

(2)Patients where a tumor is planned to be resected that has caused preoperative seizures.

(3) Patients where a tumor is planned to be resected that has not caused preoperative seizures.

- Male and Female subjects 18 years to 99 years of age.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT02320136
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
