Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 5 to 14 years with a diagnosis of self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes and no major cognitive impairments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant cognitive impairments or those who are unable to understand and follow instructions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on children aged 5 to 14 years diagnosed with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS). It aims to explore cognitive deficits associated with SeLECTS, particularly in music perception, by conducting behavioral tests and neuroimaging using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). The study will also investigate the potential benefits of musical interventions for auditory and cognitive training in these children. The findings could enhance understanding of the cognitive impacts of SeLECTS and inform future therapeutic approaches.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved cognitive and auditory training interventions for children with Rolandic epilepsy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated that children with similar conditions may experience persistent musical difficulties, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
