Quality of Life in Epilepsy-89 (QOLIE-89)

The QOLIE-89 is a comprehensive disease-specific quality-of-life instrument developed specifically for people with epilepsy. Introduced by Devinsky and colleagues in 1995, it captures the broad impact of epilepsy on physical, emotional, social, and cognitive functioning. With 89 items organized into 17 distinct domains, it remains one of the most detailed QoL assessments for epilepsy and is widely used in clinical trials, health services research, and outcome monitoring.
