Top Cities for Pediatric Epilepsy Clinical Trials
Pediatric Epilepsy clinical trials are recruiting across 3 cities. Here are the cities with the most active studies:
Pediatric Epilepsy Trial Phases
3 research organizations are sponsoring pediatric epilepsy trials.
About Pediatric Epilepsy
Pediatric epilepsy encompasses seizure disorders in children, with many unique syndromes specific to childhood. Epilepsy affects about 0.5-1% of children. Treatment includes antiseizure medications, ketogenic diet, and surgery for drug-resistant cases.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for pediatric epilepsy. Currently, 3 studies are recruiting a combined 135 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 3 organizations including Wayne State University, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc..
2026 Pediatric Epilepsy Research Landscape
As of July 2026, the pediatric epilepsy clinical trial landscape includes 3 actively recruiting studies across 3 cities in the United States. These studies are collectively seeking 135 participants, with an average enrollment target of 45 per study.
The research spans multiple phases of development: 2 studies are in NA, 1 study is in PHASE4.
Research is being led by 3 different organizations, including Wayne State University, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc..
Geographically, pediatric epilepsy trials are most concentrated in Detroit, Michigan (1 trial); Houston, Texas (1 trial); Baltimore, Maryland (1 trial).

Diffusion MRI Methods to Minimize Postoperative Deficits in Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery
This project will test the accuracy of a novel diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI) approach using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to predict an optimal resection margin for pediatric epilepsy surgery objectively. Its primary goal is to minimize surgical risk probability (i.e., functional deficit) and maximize surgical benefit probability (i.e., seizure freedom) by prec...
Diffusion Tensor and Functional Connectivity Imaging in Pediatric Epilepsy: Imaging/Histology Correlation
To determine the utility of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging in the preoperative workup of children with intractable epilepsy referred for surgery.
Medication Treatment of ADHD in Pediatric Epilepsy
This is an observational study assessing the usage of stimulant medication for ADHD in the context of pediatric epilepsy.
