Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether a phone-intervention called HOBSCOTCH will improve health, daily functioning and quality of life among patients with refractory epilepsy. HOBSCOTCH stands for "Home-Based Self-Management and Cognitive Training Changes Lives." This study will also help to find the best ways of integrating this telehealth intervention to routine clinic use.


Clinical Trial Description

The proposed project will assess the efficacy of an 8-week phone-delivered, experimental treatment called "Home-Based Self-Management and Cognitive Training Changes Lives" (HOBSCOTCH) on sixty patients with refractory epilepsy (PWRE). The investigators will employ a prospective, single blind randomized clinical trial design with wait-list controls to examine both objective and subjective measures of daily life, daily functioning, cognition, and emotional well-being. Investigators will also assess the impact of HOBSCOTCH on employment and work productivity using the Lam Employment absence and Disability Scale (LEAPS) and the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS). Lastly, the investigators will examine whether changes in these domains are maintained three months after completion of the intervention. The study will expand the efficacy literature for HOBSCOTCH and further refine its use in a busy clinical environment, and therefore has potential to benefit the patient population (PWRE), who currently lacks treatment options besides the pharmacological and surgical care currently available. ;
