Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this interventional study is to assess the impact of pharmacist-led cognitive behavioral intervention in epileptic patients. The main questions are: 1. If pharmacist-led cognitive behavioral therapy can help in improving patient medication adherence? 2. How will the cognitive behavioral therapy impact the quality of life of the patients? Participants of this study will be provided basic or advanced level counselling and educational material as part of their routine pharmacy visit. Researchers will compare the two groups (Basic and advanced) to see which of the two groups are better in term of medication adherence and quality of life.


Description:

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether incorporation of pharmacist-led cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to the treatment of epileptic patients can result in better adherence to anti epileptic drugs. In order to manage epilepsy effectively, medication adherence is essential. Missed doses or irregular drug use can increase the frequency of seizures and reduce the effectiveness of treatment. In order to improve medicine adherence rates, the study will examine if cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) therapies can have a favorable effect on patients' motivation, coping techniques, Medication beliefs, reduction in adverse drug reaction (ADRs), Seizures frequency and medication related problems (MRPs) other than adverse drug reaction (ADRs) and overall quality of life of epileptic patients.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Medication adherence Adherence will be assessed using (Medication Adherence Reporting Scale) MARS-10.
This scale describes three-dimension, Medication adherence behavior (1-4), attitude towards taking medication (5-8), negative side effects and attitudes to psychotropic medication (9-10). Each question has Yes and No response, a response consistent with adherence is coded as 1 and with non-adherence coded as 0. Higher the score higher will be the adherence. Adherence <6 is poor adherence, and >8 is high adherence.
3 months
Primary Quality of life of Epileptic patients Patient's quality of life will be assessed using Quality of life for epilepsy scale(QOLIE-31). QOLIE-31(Quality of life in epilepsy) used for quality-of-life assessment which assess the patient's life's quality level along using anti-epileptic drug (AED) therapy through close ended questions with a score. The score can range from 0-100, with 100 representing the best quality of life. 3 months
Secondary Incidence of Drug-Drug Interactions Drug interactions among epileptic and non-epileptic drug will be assessed using standard website (update-Lexicomp) It is used to access the reduction in no. of drug drug interaction after pharmacist intervation in both basic and advance groups. 3 months
Secondary Incidence of Adverse reactions Adverse reactions of all anti-epileptic drug will be noted while assessing a patient.
It is used to access the reduction in frequency of Adverse drug reaction after pharmacist intervation in both basic and advance groups.
3 months
Secondary Rate of seizures per week While assessing patient no. of seizures per week is asked and noted by the pharmacist. After intervening both basic and advance group impact of intervation is accessed for no. of seizures in the groups. 3 months
