The study will be prospective, multicentre, postmarketing clinical study, with a controlled and randomized design, to perform the analysis of 130 subjects with a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy, patients whose clinical semiology of their epilepsy is considered to be of interest for the validation in the day-to-day life a medical device (mjn-SERAS), which has already been validated and certified in Europe with CE mark Class IIa.
This new validation will take place in the participant's normalised environment, in individuals between 12 and 65 years of age, of both sexes with a diagnosis of drug-resistant epilepsy to determine the impact in quality of life of the mjn-SERAS on the early detection of epileptic seizures and the generation of a pre-seizure alert with a time window of a minimum of 1 minute.
Confirmed diagnosis of drug-resistant*1 epilepsy, with focal, generalized or focal -generalized seizures, according to international standards from ILAE 2017 classification*2 (link), who will be evaluated by a specialised epilepsy unit and who are expected to have seizures.
The video-EEG records of patients must have epileptic seizures counted and recorded by specialised clinical personnel through accepted and contrasted gold-standard systems*3 or evaluated by a specialized epilepsy unit and expected to experience seizures with electroclinical manifestations If there are clear clinical epileptic seizures (e.g. motor seizures), patients could be involved even without v-EEG records, according to medical criteria.
Patients with a clinical history and previous video-EEG records that allows certainty about the diagnosis and characteristics of the participant's epilepsy. If there are clear clinical epileptic seizures (e.g. motor seizures), patients could be involved even without v-EEG records, according to medical criteria.
Precise semiological information on the patients included.
Ability to navigate in Android or iOS operating system. If mild or moderate disability, family members can assist with navigation if patient is unable. The smartphone must stays with the patient to record EEG, but seizures are registered by a family member.
Presence of psychogenic seizures.
If there is a coexistence of epileptic and non-epileptic seizures, it will be considered an exclusion criterion if the patient or family cannot differentiate between the two types of seizures.
If the patient or family can always differentiate between the two types of seizures, the patient could be included in the study according to medical criteria (but only recording the epileptic seizures.)
