Using magnetoencephalography to diagnose brain disorders in children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the diagnostic value of magnetoencephalography (MEG) in children with various neurodevelopmental disorders. It focuses on conditions such as epilepsy, intracranial tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, autism, ADHD, and other neuropsychiatric disorders. The study aims to observe how MEG can help localize brain functional areas and identify epileptic foci. By analyzing the data collected from pediatric patients, researchers hope to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
