What is Mindfulness-based Therapy for Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures about?

## Background: Mindfulness-based therapies (mbts) are effective in many neuropsychiatric disorders, and represent a potential therapeutic strategy for psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (pnes). ## Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of a manualized 12-session mbt for pnes in an uncontrolled trial. we hypothesized reductions in pnes frequency, intensity, and duration, and improvements in quality of life and psychiatric symptom severity at treatment completion. ## Methods: Between august 2014 and february 2018, 49 patients with documented pnes (with video electroencephalography [eeg]) were recruited at brigham and women's hospital to participate in the mbt for pnes treatment study. baseline demographic and clinical information and self-rating scales were obtained during the diagnostic evaluation (t0). baseline pnes frequency, intensity, and duration were collected at the first follow-up postdiagnosis (t1). frequency was obtained at each subsequent mbt session and analyzed over time with median regression analysis. outcomes for other measures were collected at the last mbt session (t3), and compared to baseline measures using linear mixed model
