What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward an effective talk therapy for reducing both PNES seizures and PTSD symptoms, potentially improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires active participation and may be emotionally challenging.
