Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) ([link removed]) is a form of acquired epilepsy that results from brain damage caused by a traumatic brain injury (TBI). People diagnosed with a TBI are 29 times more likely to develop epilepsy compared to the general population^1. Individuals serving in the military may be especially susceptible to PTE. In fact, over 400,000 US Military personnel were diagnosed with TBI from 2010-2019^2, putting them at subsequent risk for developing PTE.

This webinar will provide an overview of PTE ([link removed]) and cognitive dysfunction, as well as some strategies to help improve the quality of life of those with PTE and their caregivers. The webinar will also provide details about HOBSCOTCH (Home Based Self-Management and Cognitive Training Changes Lives), a behavioral program designed to address memory and attention problems in adults with epilepsy and discuss a clinical trial opportunity for veterans and civilians living with PTE.

The webinar is free to attend and is intended for everyone, including persons with epilepsy, their friends and family, and caregivers. You can submit questions in advance to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or during the Q&A section of the webinar.
