Management of Functional Seizures Practice Guideline Executive Summary | Neurology This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for clinicians, patients, and other stakeholders on the management of functional seizures. Following a National Academy of Medicine–compliant pro...

New guidelines for the diagnosis and management of functional seizures released by the American Academy of Neurology. Thanks to all who contributed to this meaningful step toward clinical clarity, reduced stigma, and patient-centered care.

Patients with FS/PNES show significantly lower DTI-ALPS index compared to HC, suggesting potential glymphatic system dysfunction.

Thanks to those young people living with FND who attended this @futureneuro.bsky.social creative workshop and shared what life is like with functional seizures.💚 🧡

Functional seizures (aka NES, PNES) are often part of #FND. Dr. Moenter describes them as a “reset mechanism” for an overactivated nervous system. Want to learn more? Visit the What is FND? page on our site: fndcourage.org #FND #FunctionalSeizures #FNDcourage

Describes the development of a qualitative data analysis codebook for peri-ictal behaviors in functional seizures.

Key point: Neurobehavioral therapy improves functional seizures and behavioral outcomes, but its mechanism of action is unknown.

High prevalence of non-syncopal fainting (psychogenic pseudosyncope) in patients referred for recurrent syncope - Clinical Autonomic Research Clinical Autonomic Research -

Functional #syncope (what the authors call non-syncopal fainting) is under-examined and shares interesting overlaps with #functionalseizures. Patients often go undiagnosed and may get many unnecessary studies and medications.

Studies like this is sorely needed.
