The Benefits of a Care Pathway Combining Remote Monitoring and Support From a Nurse After a Change in Anti-epileptic Treatment: a Pilot Study
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Remote monitoring training: Training in the care pathway via remote monitoring software
Description of the standard care pathway: Description of the standard care pathway with the nurse
Therapeutic support with a nurse: Therapeutic support with a nurse who ensures the patient's adherence to remote monitoring at 1 month and 3 months
Questionnaires for the two groups: Quality of life questionnaires at baseline and at 6 months
Satisfaction questionnaire for the group with remote monitoring: Satisfaction questionnaire for the group with remote monitoring at 6 months
Study summary
Epilepsy is a chronic condition affecting approximately 600,000 people in France. Epilepsy treatment relies on antiepileptic drugs, the effectiveness of which depends on adherence to medication schedule, with missed doses increasing the risk of seizures. As with any chronic illness, epilepsy presents a significant challenge in terms of treatment adherence. Furthermore, despite good medication adherence, 30% of patients remain drug-resistant.
Therefore, the aim is to create a remote monitoring program, supported by a nurse, lasting six months after the introduction of a new antiepileptic drug, to support the patient until their next appointment with a neurologist. This system would optimize and secure the care pathway during treatment changes by improving the detection of side effects and/or a resurgence of seizures requiring medication adjustments.
