Epilepsy affects the quality of life more than any other chronic disease, and occasionally stigma is more than the disease itself affects a patients life. The aim of the present study was to investigate different dimensions of the quality of life of epileptic patients in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran. Method: In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients were randomly selected on the basis of their national code numbers. After confirmation of the diagnosis of epilepsy by the neurologists and having the criteria for entering the study, they completed the QOLIE-31 questionnaire. Finally, data was analyzed statistically by SPSS software. Results: The study sample comprised 100 PWEs, aged 18-74 years (34 ± 13), of whom 58 (58%) were females. Tonic-colonic seizure was the most common (60%) type of seizure. The obtained score of each sub scale and the range of overall score of qolie-31 was 16.40- 79.18 with the mean of 49.7± 16. The overall score obtained in this study was not significantly different from the global score of the region. For the sub scales, the lowest mean score was 14.3 ± 30.9, and the highest mean score was 25.2 ± 57.4, to subscales of overall quality of life and cognitive functioning, respectively.
