Seizure control, stress, and access to care during the COVID‐19 pandemic in New York City: The patient perspective

Our epilepsy population recently experienced the acute effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic in New York City. Herein, we aimed to determine patient‐perceived seizure control during the surge, specific variables associated with worsened seizures, the prevalence of specific barriers to care, and patient‐perceived efficacy of epilepsy care delivered via telephone and live video visits during the pandemic.
