This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new support program for people with drug-resistant epilepsy — a type of epilepsy that doesn't respond well to standard medications. The program combines brain training exercises and cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy focused on changing unhelpful thought patterns) delivered in group sessions over 8 weeks. Researchers want to see if this program can help improve thinking skills, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
People with hard-to-treat epilepsy often struggle with memory, concentration, and emotional challenges — problems that medication alone doesn't always fix. This trial exists to test whether adding brain training and therapy can address these struggles and help people live better lives despite their condition.
If you join, you'll be randomly placed into either a treatment group or a comparison group. The treatment group will attend one 2-hour session per week for 8 weeks, where you'll do brain exercises and therapy with about 4 other participants. Both groups will complete thinking and mood assessments before the program starts and again 3 to 6 months later to see if the program helped. Your regular epilepsy treatment will continue as normal throughout the study.
