HOme-Based Self-management & COgnitive Training CHanges Lives (HOBSCOTCH)

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the home-based intervention, HOBSCOTCH-PTE, to improve the quality of life and cognitive function in Service Members, Veterans and civilians with post traumatic epilepsy (PTE). This study will also assess the ability of the HOBSCOTCH-PTE program to improve quality of life in caregivers of PTE patients and to reduce caregiver burden.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators hypothesis is that the home-based intervention (HOBSCOTCH-PTE) will improve quality of life and cognitive function in Service Members, Veterans and civilians with PTE. The integration of family caregiver participation in the HOBSCOTCH-PTE intervention will reduce caregiver burden and increase caregiver knowledge of their loved one's disease and cognitive challenges they face, ultimately leading to an improvement in caregiver quality of life. The investigators will test the hypothesis by pursuing the following specific aims: Aim 1: Adapt the HOBSCOTCH program education module for delivery to patients with PTE and cognitive challenges. The investigators working hypothesis is that the existing education module of the HOBSCOTCH program can be adapted to address key knowledge areas for patients with TBI and PTE and their caregivers. Aim 2: Evaluate the efficacy of the HOBSCOTCH-PTE program in patients with PTE. The investigators working hypothesis is that the HOBSCOTCH-PTE intervention will improve QOL in PTE patients. The investigators also expect to see improvements in subjective cognition, knowledge, self-efficacy, symptom reduction, and health outcomes. Aim 3: Incorporate family caregivers into select components of the HOBSCOTCH-PTE intervention and evaluate the effects of the HOBSCOTCH-PTE intervention on the caregiver. The investigators working hypothesis is that family caregivers will have improvement in QOL, caregiver burden, and health status as a result of their family member with PTE participating in the HOBSCOTCH-PTE intervention, and by their own participation in the HOBSCOTCH-PTE modules delivering disease specific education and mindfulness skill building exercises. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
