What this Trial Is About
The notion of genuine placebo effects on epileptic seizure events (i.e., effects beyond methodological study artifacts) is incompatible with the standard model of epilepsy seizure genesis. In this single-blind controlled study, the effectiveness of a covered placebo on (1) the timing of the occurrence of a first epileptic seizure ("seizure pill") versus (2) the subjective well-being ("comfort pill") during pre-surgical video-EEG monitoring will be examined. It is hypothesized that a placebo effect on subjective well-being can be demonstrated, but that epileptic seizure events are not influenced by placebo.
