Clinic to Community© Program for Adults With Epilepsy Admitted to Emergency Departments: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Jan 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Analysis of emergency department (ED) visits with a billing code for 'epilepsy' or 'seizure' found up to 37% are eligible for deferral. This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Clinic To Community© program (C2C) as an intervention for adults with epilepsy visiting emergency departments at a mid size hospital in Ontario, Canada. Participants in the intervention arm receive patient education to improve knowledge of epilepsy and access to community-based services. Participants in the control group are wait-listed and receive patient education 12 months later. The study objective is to successfully implement, recruit and retain participants for this intervention and evaluate whether C2C will reduce the frequency of ED visits, reduce felt stigma and improve quality of life, epilepsy knowledge, and self-management skills.
