First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a behavioral therapy called ReACT for teens aged 11-18 with functional seizures (non-epileptic). The therapy involves 12 sessions with a therapist to help manage seizures. Researchers want to see if a larger study is possible by checking how many teens join, stick with treatment, and find it acceptable. Participants are randomly assigned to ReACT or another online therapy (CATCH-IT).
