Functional seizures: An evaluation of the attitudes of general practitioners local to a tertiary neuroscience service in London [PDF]

Epilepsia Open, 2019
Objective: Functional seizures are a common functional neurologic disorder. Given their chronic nature, and the biopsychosocial factors involved in their etiology, general practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in the care of these patients.

Functional seizures: Are they consistent over time? [PDF]

Brain and Behavior
Background Our previous study showed that functional seizures (FS) are consistent in the same patient during a single video EEG monitoring (VEEG). This study aimed to check whether FS remains consistent across VEEG sessions even after several years ...

“What are your seizures telling you?”: A therapeutic tool for functional seizures

Epilepsy & Behavior
BACKGROUND: Understanding illness representations is considered important for improving health outcomes, yet how people with functional seizures reflect on the possible psychological function of their seizures has not been studied.

Pregnancy outcomes and changes to seizure frequency during pregnancy for patients with functional seizures [PDF]

Epilepsy & Behavior
The goal of this study was to determine the relative frequency of functional seizures (FS) with respect to pregnancy and to document pregnancy outcomes of patients with FS. Pregnancy can be a stressful period in a woman's life and may contribute to FS in childbearing patients.A retrospective chart review was conducted on pregnant patients admitted to ...

BMJ Neurology Open
Objective Identify the proportion of patients referred with putative functional seizures (FS) that were subsequently re-diagnosed as epileptic seizures (ES), or an alternative diagnosis, following video telemetry EEG (VTEEG).

Socioemotional self- and co-regulation in functional seizures: comparing high and low posttraumatic stress

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
Functional seizures (FS) are seizure-like symptoms without electroencephalogram (EEG)-based epileptic activity. Those with FS often show emotion-related dysfunction and disrupted interpersonal relationships, in which posttraumatic stress disorder ...

Risk factors for comorbid epilepsy in patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. Dataset of a large cohort study

Data in Brief, 2022
Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are the main differential diagnosis of pharmacorresistant epilepsy. Achieving the certainty in the diagnosis of PNES may be challenging, especially in the 10-22% of cases in which PNES and epilepsy co-exist. This
