Interventions

• Neurology Based Collaborative Care — BEHAVIORAL
  Twenty-four week, evidence-based remote collaborative care model initiated around the time of a neurology visit. The collaborative care team roles include the care manager, psychiatrist, and psychologist/social worker who interact with the patient participant and the patient's neurologist.
• SOC Neurological care — BEHAVIORAL
  Usual neurology care means ongoing, epilepsy provider-recommended clinic visits, prescriptions, testing and referrals from their epilepsy provider. Mental health referrals or prescribing of antidepressants may potentially occur in this group; these types of interventions will be tracked at outcome assessments.

Study Details

The purpose of this research is to evaluate a 6 month change in quality of life in subjects who receive collaborative care calls compared to those subjects who receive usual neurology care. This is a 2-site trial comparing a 24 week neurology-based collaborative care program to usual neurology care among a total of 60 adults with post-traumatic epilepsy.
