Summary of Clinical Trial Results
A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program using technology-enhanced learning to teach neurology residents how to identify interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs).
Methods
- Junior neurology residents were randomly assigned to three groups: control, intervention 1, and intervention 2.
- The intervention involved video tutorials and rating 500 candidate IEDs with instant feedback on a web browser or an iOS app.
- All residents completed a survey and a test at the beginning and end of the study.
Results
- Residents in intervention 1 and intervention 2 showed significant improvements in identifying IEDs and confidence levels, while the control group did not show significant improvements.
- Intervention 1 resulted in greater objective improvement compared to intervention 2.
Significance
- The program led to both subjective and objective improvements in IED identification among trainees.
- Rating candidate IEDs with instant feedback on a web browser was found to be more effective than using an iOS app.
- This program can be a valuable addition to trainee education on IED identification.
