What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cognitive rehabilitation therapy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an evidence-based therapy to help people with epilepsy manage memory problems and improve their daily well-being.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants. The intervention is behavioral, so results may vary widely and may not apply to everyone with epilepsy.
