Enhancing quality of life in epilepsy with a digital intervention (emyna): Results of the ELAINE randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Despite the availability of pharmacological treatment for seizures, people with epilepsy (PwE) commonly experience impairments in quality of life (QoL). Given the limited access to psychosocial treatments for PwE, digital interventions could bridge treatment gaps and help improve QoL. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of emyna, a fully automated digital intervention based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, in improving health-related QoL among PwE who reported impairments in QoL. A previous trial showed that emyna was effective in improving depressive symptoms among PwE with a comorbid depressive disorder, but its effects on QoL among PwE without comorbid depression remain unknown.

Methods

A pragmatic randomized controlled
