Read our Epilepsy research guide →This research is testing whether a driving simulator combined with brain wave monitoring (EEG) can better evaluate driving fitness in people with epilepsy. Right now, decisions about whether someone with epilepsy can drive are based mainly on a doctor's visit rather than actual driving ability. This study wants to see if simulator-based testing can give doctors a clearer, more accurate picture of how epilepsy affects driving performance.
People with epilepsy can sometimes have difficulty concentrating or focusing, which could affect their ability to drive safely. However, there is no standard way to test whether someone with epilepsy is truly safe behind the wheel. This trial exists to develop better methods for assessing driving fitness, so people with epilepsy can get clearer answers about whether they can drive, which is important for their independence and work.

If you qualify, you would come to the study site and use a driving simulator — basically a realistic driving experience in a controlled setting. While you're driving in the simulator, researchers would monitor your brain activity with EEG sensors. The test allows doctors to see how epilepsy might affect your concentration, reaction time, and driving performance in a safe environment. The exact duration isn't specified in the trial details, but you should expect at least one visit.
