    Scoping review and expert-based consensus recommendations for assessment and management of psychogenic non-epileptic (functional) seizures (PNES) in children: A report from the Pediatric Psychiatric Issues Task Force of the International League Against Epilepsy
    (2023) REILLY, Colin; JETTE, Nathalie; JOHNSON, Emma C.; KARIUKI, Symon M.; MEREDITH, Francesca; WIRRELL, Elaine; MULA, Marco; SMITH, Mary Lou; WALSH, Samantha; FONG, Choong Yi; WILMSHURST, Jo M.; KERR, Mike; VALENTE, Kette; AUVIN, Stephane
    Limited guidance exists regarding the assessment and management of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) in children. Our aim was to develop consensus-based recommendations to fill this gap. The members of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Task Force on Pediatric Psychiatric Issues conducted a scoping review adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-SR) standards. This was supplemented with a Delphi process sent to pediatric PNES experts. Consensus was defined as >= 80% agreement. The systematic search identified 77 studies, the majority (55%) of which were retrospective (only one randomized clinical trial). The primary means of PNES identification was video electroencephalography (vEEG) in 84% of studies. Better outcome was associated with access to counseling/psychological intervention. Children with PNES have more frequent psychiatric disorders than controls. The Delphi resulted in 22 recommendations: Assessment-There was consensus on the importance of (1) taking a comprehensive developmental history; (2) obtaining a description of the events; (3) asking about potential stressors; (4) the need to use vEEG if available parent, self, and school reports and video recordings can contribute to a ""probable"" diagnosis; and (5) that invasive provocation techniques or deceit should not be employed. Management-There was consensus about the (1) need for a professional with expertise in epilepsy to remain involved for a period after PNES diagnosis; (2) provision of appropriate educational materials to the child and caregivers; and (3) that the decision on treatment modality for PNES in children should consider the child's age, cognitive ability, and family factors. Comorbidities-There was consensus that all children with PNES should be screened for mental health and neurodevelopmental difficulties. Recommendations to facilitate the assessment and management of PNES in children were developed. Future directions to fill knowledge gaps were proposed.

    A cognitive rehabilitation program to improve hot and cool executive dysfunction in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: Preliminary findings
    (2023) PAIVA, Maria Luisa Maia Nobre; SERAFIM, Antonio; VINCENTIIS, Silvia; ALESSI, Ruda; MARIN, Rachel; MELO, Marcio Braga; VALENTE, Kette D.
    Objective: Executive and attentional deficits are often described in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME). We aimed to evaluate the short-term impact of rehabilitation developed for the most frequent cognitive deficits of persons with JME. Methods: Thirty-three patients entered this study which consisted of 12 individual sessions once a 60-minute week, divided into planning/organization, attention, and impulsivity. Twenty-seven patients finished the protocol, and all patients had pre-and-post evaluations from neuropsychological tests and self-rating questionnaires. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) inferential statistics were used to verify the protocol's effect, and a 95% confidence interval was adopted. Results: We found significant improvement in selective attention (TMT A [p < 0.01] and Stroop test 2 [p = 0.03]), inhibitory control (Stroop test 3 [p = 0.02], FAS [p < 0.01], CPT commissions [p < 0.01]), mental flexibility [WCST categories p < 0.01] and implicit decision making (IGT blocks A [p < 0.01], B [p = 0.02], C [p < 0.01] and D [p < 0.01]). All components of the Behavioral Rating Index of Executive Functions metacognition index and the general quotient had significant improvement (initiative [p & LE; 0.01], working memory [p & LE; 0.01], planning and organization [p & LE; 0.01], task monitor [p = 0.02] and organization of materials [p = 0.02]). Regarding the Behavioral Regulation Index, the ""Emotional Control"" was improved [p = 0.03]. The attentional component and general scores of the Adult Self-Report Scale for Adults also changed significantly [p & LE; 0.01]. Significance: Executive function and attention had an improvement in objective and subjective tests. The context-dependent reactive mechanism of impulsivity improved in instruments based on the ecological evaluation. Our findings, though preliminary due to a lack of controls and practice effect corrections, sup-port that cognitive rehabilitation may be a valuable resource to alleviate cognitive deficits in patients with JME. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.

    Sleep quality and circadian rhythm profile of persons with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in a tertiary epilepsy center: A case-control study
    (2023) KOIKE, Camila; LIMA, Ellen M.; PAIVA, Maria L.; PENTAGNA, Alvaro; BIMBATTI, Isabelle; VALENTE, Kette D.
    Purpose: This study evaluated sleep quality, chronotype, and excessive diurnal somnolence in persons with Ju-venile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) and their possible association with clinical variables. Methods: This cross-sectional controlled study evaluated 49 consecutive patients (65% females, mean age 27.53 years) with an electroclinical diagnosis of JME and 49 healthy controls (55% females, mean age 28.55 years). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) to evaluate excessive daytime sleepiness. The patients' chronotype was evaluated by the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Epilepsy-related factors gathered from the medical chart and personal interview were epilepsy duration, age at onset, frequency of myoclonic (Mcl), generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) and absence (ABS) seizures, pharmacoresponse, and current antiseizure medication (ASM).Results: Persons with JME did not differ from the control group regarding daytime sleepiness (p=0.840); how-ever, the JME group had worse sleep quality (p=0.01) than the controls. Persons with JME presented a more evening chronotype than controls (p = 0.003). The age at onset, epilepsy duration, frequency of Mcl seizure, frequency of GTC seizure, frequency of ABS seizure, and drug response did not predict ESS and MEQ scales. Pharmacoresponsive patients had lower PSQI scores compared with pharmacoresistant patients (p=0.036). Conclusion: Persons with JME have worse sleep quality and a more evening chronotype. Notably, pharmacor-esistant patients present a worse sleep quality that deserves attention and special care due to the relationship between sleep deprivation and seizure worsening.
