[#DIV28SUPER] Opportunity to Comment on AAN Management of Functional Seizures Guideline Protocol [Available until Jan 4, 2023]

Dear Division 28 Colleagues,

 

The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) recently posted a call for public comments on its draft protocol for the new AAN guideline Management of Functional Seizures. The protocol outlines the research to be completed, which will inform the conclusions and recommendations of the guideline to be developed. The planned guideline will address the following therapeutic questions:

 

• In individuals with functional seizures, what is the efficacy of psychological interventions on the frequency and bothersomeness of functional seizures, in comparison to standardized, routine, or usual medical care? 
• In individuals with functional seizures, what is the efficacy of psychological interventions on health-related quality of life, psychosocial functioning, and psychiatric comorbidities, in comparison to standardized, routine, or usual medical care? 
• In individuals with functional seizures, what is the efficacy of psychopharmacological interventions on the frequency and bothersomeness of functional seizures in comparison to placebo or another active treatment? 
• In individuals with functional seizures, what is the efficacy of psychopharmacological interventions on health-related quality of life, psychosocial functioning, and psychiatric comorbidities, in comparison to placebo or another treatment? 

 

To access the PDF of the guideline and the online comment form, please click on the following link:

https://www.aan.com/policy-and-guidelines/guidelines/guidelines-open-for-public-comment/

 

The AAN is accepting comments until Wednesday, January 4, 2023, and we encourage members to submit comments directly to the AAN portal. You are also welcome to share any feedback you have, if you wish. If you would like to share your feedback with our office, please email jmarzalik@apa.org.
