Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudySelf-Management education for adults with poorly controlled epILEpsy [SMILE (UK)]: a randomised controlled trial.
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition resulting in recurrent seizures. Research evidence in long-term conditions suggests that patients benefit from self-management education and that this may improve quality of life (QoL). Epilepsy self-management education has yet to be tested in a UK setting. ⋯ More research is needed on self-management courses, with psychological components and integration with routine monitoring.
