This comprehensive review explores the pathophysiology, neuroimaging findings, and prevalence of FAS.

Background: Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) investigating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) among adults with functional seizures (FS) have become increasingly available, prompting the opportunity to critically appraise the efficacy and safety of CBT in this population.

Article Synopsis
  • This study reviews the effectiveness of psychological interventions for functional/dissociative seizures (FDS) through a systematic analysis of data from 44 studies involving 1,300 patients.
  • The meta-analysis found a 40% seizure freedom rate at treatment's end and a 66% rate of ≥50% improvement in seizure frequency during treatment, indicating moderate positive effects from psychological therapies.
  • Despite improvements in seizure-related outcomes, none of the explored factors significantly affected seizure freedom, highlighting the need for more research on optimal measures to evaluate FDS severity.
