Training for control and expectations in PNES therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment approach that aims to improve a sense of control and change symptom expectations for children or teens with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). It also involves family support so the treatment fits your home life and goals.
