Study summary

This study is designed as a prospective, non-randomized, observational, multicenter clinical trial. The primary aim of this study is to observe if the use of the rapid responds electroencephalography (EEG) system impacts physician decision making. Secondary aims include exploring the safety and performance information of the Ceribell EEG system compared to conventional EEG system. The study will recruit physicians (Faculty physicians and Trainees) at up to five institutions and examine the impact of rapid response EEG when providing care to patients in whom EEG recording has been ordered for clinical reasons.

Study population

The study will involve two groups of subjects:

  1. Physicians (faculty and trainees), who will be asked to fill out a nonsensitive questionnaire. These are members of Epilepsy and Neuro-ICU team (attendings, fellows, or residents) who are actively involved in the care of patients and know the patient's history of present illness.
  2. Patients undergoing clinically ordered EEGs.

Interventions

  • DeviceCeribell Rapid Response EEG, Survey

    This trial will qualitatively examine how information from rapid response and conventional EEG data changes physicians' diagnostic suspicion or their treatment decisions and confidence levels. In addition, the results will examine the mean time to EEG lead placement, and ease of use.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in physicians' diagnosis decision

    Physician will record their diagnostic assessment of seizure in Yes or No.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Change in physicians' diagnosis confidence

    Physician will rate their diagnosis confidence with a score between 1 to 5

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Change in physicians' treatment decision

    Physician will record their treatment decision in Yes or No.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Change in physicians' treatment confidence

    Physician will rate their treatment confidence with a score between 1 to 5

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time from order to EEG arrival

    Time from EEG order to EEG arrival will be recorded for both Ceribell EEG and conventional EEG

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Set up time

    Time from EEG arrival to the first EEG recording will be recorded for both Ceribell EEG and conventional EEG

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Ease of use

    Ease of use will be recorded with a score of 1-5

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Signal Quality of EEG

    Signal Quality of Ceribell EEG as measured with Hjorth parameters (Hjorth Activity, Hjorth Mobility, Hjorth Complexity) will be compared to signal quality of conventional EEG acquired from the same patients

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2018 to primary completion in Apr 2019, 12 months.

Of 20 observational studies under Status Epilepticus, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14. This study's 12 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 20, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
