Epilepsy Journey-An Executive Functioning Intervention for Teens With Epilepsy

Sponsor: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this multi-site clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of two components of a web-based intervention (Epilepsy Journey) to improve executive functioning in adolescents with epilepsy. The two components include web-based modules and problem-solving telehealth sessions with a therapist focused on executive functioning. This trial aims to answer the following questions: 1. Which components of Epilepsy Journey (web-based modules or telehealth sessions with a therapist) are essential for improving executive functioning in adolescents with epilepsy? 2. Which components of Epilepsy Journey (web-based modules or telehealth sessions with a therapist) are essential for improving quality of life in adolescents with epilepsy? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: 1) Epilepsy Journey web-based modules and telehealth sessions, 2) Epilepsy Journey web-based modules only, 3) telehealth sessions with a therapist only, or 4) treatment as usual. Participants will: * Independently review Epilepsy Journey web-based modules focused on executive functioning skills (\~15-30 minutes) and/or have weekly telehealth sessions (\~30-45 minutes) with a therapist for 14 weeks. * Complete measures of executive functioning (parent and teen-report) and quality of life (teen-report) at the start of the study, 14-, 26-, and 66- weeks after randomization. The NIH toolbox will be completed at the start of the study and 26-weeks after randomization. Additional measures will also be collected.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Epilepsy Journey web-based modules

Participants assigned to Epilepsy Journey modules will independently review web-based EJ modules focused on executive functioning skills. The modules cover 10 topic areas: Positive Thoughts, Problem-Solving, Initiation, Working Memory, Monitoring, Inhibition, Emotional Control, Organization and Planning, Sleep/Stress, and a Wrap-Up. Participants will complete 10 modules (\~15-30 minutes each session) within a 14-week time frame. The goal is to complete one module per week.

BEHAVIORAL

Telehealth with a therapist

Therapist will cover 10 areas of executive functioning during telehealth sessions, including Positive Thoughts, Problem-Solving, Initiation, Working Memory, Monitoring, Inhibition, Emotional Control, Organization and Planning, Sleep/Stress, and a Wrap-Up. Telehealth sessions with a therapist will occur via HIPAA-compliant videoconference (e.g. Microsoft Teams) each week ideally over the course of 14 weeks.
