Özet

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is an extraordinary experience around the world; however, its effect on physical activity, anxiety, and seizure frequency remains unknown among epilepsy patients in the time of the national lockdown. We aimed to investigate whether the physical activity, anxiety, and seizure frequency were affected during the national lockdown of the first 3 months in patients with epilepsy.
