Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000
The primary goal of treatment in nonepileptic seizures (NES) is to improve the patient's quality of life by terminating seizure production or reducing seizure frequency. Initial treatment consists of explaining the diagnosis and its psychological nature to patients without judging them or giving the NES excessive attention. Next, help patients identify

Treatment of nonepileptic seizures
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2002Studies on nonepileptic seizures (NES) provide dichotomous data sets: extensive observational findings, but a paucity of controlled treatment data. Psychosocial stressors, whose full impact may lie outside a patient's awareness, often underlie NES. These stressors, along with patient's learned patterns of coping, may bring forth or potentiate comorbid ...

The EEG in Nonepileptic Seizures
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2006Nonepileptic seizures are episodes that resemble seizures but are not epileptic. The importance of EEG in the diagnosis of NES is that misread (overread) EEGs are an important contributor to the misdiagnosis of epilepsy. About 20% to 30% of patients with refractory "seizures" seen at epilepsy centers have been misdiagnosed, and the vast majority have ...

Stigma in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2020There is scarce literature on stigma in families living with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Using a cohort of patients with epileptic seizures (ES) and their caregivers as controls, we aimed to quantify the level of patient and caregiver stigma in PNES and identify associations of patient and caregiver characteristics with it.Patients with ...

Art and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2020Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are episodes of seizure-like symptoms that are not associated with epileptiform discharges on electroencephalogram (EEG). They can be remarkably difficult to distinguish from epileptic seizures: both may involve alterations in mental status and behavior, sensory or perceptual disturbances, as well as simple or ...

Nonepileptic Seizures: Reframing the Diagnosis
Perspectives In Psychiatric Care, 2005Protocols for disclosing the diagnosis of psychological pseudoseizures have been developed. However, outcomes have not been carefully studied.Using a retrospective design, the investigators evaluated the outcomes by interviewing patients 2 years after diagnosis who received the diagnosis using a specific protocol.There was a reduction in symptoms ...

Nonepileptic Seizures: An Overview
CNS Spectrums, 2001AbstractSince before the time of Charcot, nonepileptic seizures (NES) have intrigued and perplexed physicians. With the advent of the electroencephalogram, particularly with the addition of continuous video monitoring, the diagnosis of NES has received increasing evaluation. Characteristic historical features and clinical signs of NES, coupled with new

Terminology of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
Epilepsia, 2015SummarySeveral different terms have been used to describe “psychogenic nonepileptic seizures” (PNES) in the literature. In this study, we evaluated the most common English terms used to describe PNES on Google and in PubMed using multiple search terms (https://www.google.com and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed).
