A Neuro-cognitive and Psychosocial Intervention Module in People With Epilepsy

Patients with epilepsy, especially drug-resistant epilepsy, have a lot of cognitive \& psycho-social issues. There is little evidence pertaining to the efficacy of the various cognitive-behavioral interventions and cognitive retraining modules used in epilepsy patients in the Indian context. The real value of these interventions needs further consolidation in terms of its assessment and efficacy. The available literature is scanned and having limitations in terms of assessment tool used, sample size, and also lacks a broader spectrum of psychosocial interventions used. In view of the above limitations, we plan to specially develop \& test a Neuro-cognitive and psychosocial intervention module, based on the deficits found in these domains that will help DRE patients to improve their quality of life. This module will be covering not only the broader spectrum of assessment tools but also varieties of interventions. This module will help in planning the future needs of epileptic patients in terms of not only medication but also guide us in choosing the kind of interventions to be used with a particular patient or group of patients.
