1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to compare the standard clinical electroencephalography (EEG) device with a new portable wireless EEG device, further referred to as zEEG, made by ZETO®. zEEG was designed to make EEG studies simpler, safer, more comfortable, faster, and less obstructive for the patient, also easier to set up for technicians. Wireless and battery powered, it uses the latest mobile technology. Contrary to the clinical EEG, this headset does not use any glue between the skin and the electrodes. Minor skin irritation may still occur but much less likely than from the collodion glue used in the clinical electrodes. In addition, the zEEG system does not need any gel to be applied to the skin. The zEEG electrodes are dry and disposable. They have never been used on any other head before. No additional risk is involved with setting it up. In addition to the clinically necessary EEG electrodes or intracranial electrodes for long term monitoring, we will place zEEG on the head to compare the sensitivity of the new device to the traditional device. zEEG is proven to meet the standard of clinical system and received an FDA clearance in 2018. If further clinical tests validate its technical parameters and comfort, it may replace traditional clinical EEG systems.
