Considerations for continuing diet therapy in patients with epilepsy during the COVID-19 pandemic: A scoping review
Diet therapy is an option for managing patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Diet therapies used for patients with epilepsy include the classic ketogenic diet, the modified Atkins diet, the medium chain triglyceride diet, and the low glycemic index diet. The effectiveness of diet therapy is h...

Diet therapies used for patients with epilepsy include the classic ketogenic diet, the modified Atkins diet, the medium chain triglyceride diet, and the low glycemic index diet. The effectiveness of diet therapy is highly dependent on dietary adherence. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has substantially impacted the lifestyles of people worldwide. Therefore, continuing a specific diet during the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be difficult in some aspects. Here, based on the available literature, we summarize the perspectives for maintaining diet therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a scoping review. Epileptologists and dieticians need to understand the difficulty of maintaining diet therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the education of patients and all stakeholders to continue diet therapy even during the current COVID-19 pandemic is crucial to control epileptic seizures. In conclusion, continuing diet therapy is not a matter only for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, but medical staff should also help patients to overcome the problems associated with the pandemic by understanding their situations.Naoto KurodaAyataka FujimotoElsevierarticleCoronavirus disease (COVID-19)Diet therapyEpilepsyKetogenic dietTelemedicineNeurology.
