- Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a genetic generalized epilepsy syndrome that is generally well-controlled, but long-term outcomes can vary due to related personality traits and psychiatric disorders; quality of life (QoL) information in adolescents with JME is limited.
- This study involved 50 participants aged over 11 years, who were assessed using specific quality of life questionnaires (QOLIE-AD-48 for adolescents and QOLIE-31-P for adults) and screened for psychiatric disorders, to understand the impact on their overall quality of life.
- Results showed that while the overall QoL scores were fair for both adults (62.29) and adolescents (69.71), specific areas such

The initial management of patients with CTS is conservative with medical therapy and splinting.
