Investigating The Effect Of Cognitive Rehabilitation On Cognitive Impairment Associated With Antiseizure Medications In Patients With Epilepsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating cognitive rehabilitation for Cognitive Dysfunction and Epilepsy. Completed, enrolled 368 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It is clear that studies on cognitive rehabilitation in epilepsy patients mostly focus on patients undergoing epilepsy surgery and are largely classified according to the type of epilepsy. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive impairments associated with antiepileptic drugs develop in epilepsy patients using neuropsychological tests and event-related potentials, and if such an impairment is present, to investigate whether cognitive rehabilitation is beneficial.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Cognitive rehabilitation started to one group at the beginning of the antiseizure medicine. Participants underwent computer-based cognitive rehabilitation for 3 sessions per week, with each session lasting an average of 60 minutes. Before the sessions, all participants were given detailed information about the programme and its use. The rehabilitation process was carried out in three areas of cognitive functions: memory, executive functions, and language skills.
