We aim to demonstrate, in a sufficiently powered and standardized study, that the success rate of inducing psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) without placebo (saline infusion) is noninferior to induction with placebo. The clinical data of 170 consecutive patients with suspected PNES who underwent induction with placebo from January 21, 2009 to March 31, 2013 were pair‐matched with 170 consecutive...
ObjectiveTo evaluate therapeutic efficacy upon augmenting the initial communication to patients regarding the diagnosis of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) with a novel, brief group psychoeducation administered by the same team that provided the video–electroencephalography (VEEG) confirmed diagnosis and within 4 weeks of the diagnosis.
MethodsPrior to discharge from the epilepsy monitoring...
Purpose: To evaluate whether certain preinduction clinical characteristics may influence the success rate of induction.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled and attempted inductions on 51 patients who were suspected to have psychogenic nonepileptic events based on clinical grounds. In addition to careful examination of the reported ictal semiology, we administered a battery of four psychological instruments...
