NCT ID NCT05954182
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week virtual group program led by a neuropsychologist can improve memory, focus, and daily functioning in adults with epilepsy. Participants learn brain-health strategies and practice them for a year. Researchers compare their progress to a group that does not receive the training.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this approach could offer a drug-free way to sharpen thinking and daily functioning for people with epilepsy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a treatment for seizures themselves. Results depend on participants sticking with the program, and benefits may vary.
