Psychological treatments for functional non-epileptic attacks: a systematic review.
Acta Neuropsychiatr
August 2009
1Department of Neuropsychiatry, St George's Hospital, London, UK.
Objective: There is a lack of clarity about the most useful intervention for functional non-epileptic attacks (FNEA). Outcomes for this condition remain often poor, with considerable personal, social and economic impact. In order to guide clinical practice and future research in this area, we have performed a systematic review of the published literature on the psychological treatment of FNEA.

Among neurosteroids, allopregnanolone is the most potent endogenous positive modulator of GABA(A) receptors, and disturbances in its release may play a role in pathomechanism of some neurological and psychiatric disorders. In contrast to a large body of evidence on allopregnanolone involvement in pathogenesis of epilepsy, no data are available on its role in pseudoseizures. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to find out whether pseudoseizures are associated with changes in plasma allopregnanolone level in pediatric patients.

The Aim Of The Study: Pseudo-epileptic seizures are a very crucial clinical problem in the developmental age and are coexisting with epileptic seizures in children. There is no answer to the question if the appearance of pseudoepileptic seizures in this age is connected to bioelectric brain function disorders. In adults with pseudoepileptic seizures the temporal area disorders are detected.

The Aim Of The Study: The psychogenic pseudoepileptic seizures can be provoked by suggestion and by placebo test. This is the possibility that differentiates them with epileptic seizures, if there is a chance to record with video EEG. In the developmental age the intravenous placebo tests are willingly used, moreover the oral placebo has probably the same effectiveness.
