Read our Epilepsy research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to test whether listening to specific music can help reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that doesn't respond well to medication. You would have a small device already implanted in your brain (called an RNS device) that monitors your brain activity and delivers mild electrical stimulation when needed. This study asks: can daily music listening make this treatment work even better?
Earlier research showed that certain music might reduce seizure activity in the brain, but no one has tested whether listening to this music every day at home—over weeks—could help. This trial will help doctors understand if this simple, non-medication approach could be a real option for people whose seizures are hard to control with drugs alone.

Over several weeks, you will listen to different music excerpts—some that early research suggests may help reduce seizures, and others as comparisons. You'll listen through a phone or tablet app from home, and your implanted RNS device will continue to track your brain activity as usual. The research team will check how many seizure events your device detects during different music-listening periods and will also ask you questions about your mood, quality of life, and how you're feeling.
