New epilepsy program aims to boost safety skills in patients with hard-to-control seizures
NCT ID NCT06202196
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a risk prevention program to standard epilepsy education helps adults with uncontrolled epilepsy improve their safety behaviors. 74 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the extra risk prevention session, the other gets usual care. The main goal is to see if the program increases how often patients use safety strategies, measured three months after the last education session.
