ReACT therapy for teens with PNES
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a type of talk therapy called ReACT (Retraining and Control Therapy) for teens with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). The goal is to help you and your family learn ways to reduce or stop the seizures.
