Summary

This pilot trial tests a 15-week telehealth program called Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) for teens aged 14–18 with epilepsy who struggle with daily living skills. The program includes weekly caregiver-teen sessions and separate caregiver group meetings, all delivered online. Researchers want to see if the program is acceptable and helpful for improving skills like cooking, laundry, and money management.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) behavioral program
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help teens with epilepsy gain independence in daily tasks.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires a significant time commitment from families.
