  • Excellent content

    The content of the episodes is generally excellent. Unfortunately the presenter insists on talking like a child intermittently which is irritating and distracts from the context. Please just talk normally!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joint Podcast: ILAE - Sharp Waves & FNDS On Epileptic & Non-Epileptic Seizure Differential Diagnosis and Management
Q: What should ED staff do to minimize harm when a patient with functional seizures presents?
Focus on safety, avoid unnecessary procedures, use a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, and develop a clear treatment or response plan to keep the patient out of the ED when possible.
Joint Podcast: ILAE - Sharp Waves & FNDS On Epileptic & Non-Epileptic Seizure Differential Diagnosis and Management
Q: Could you describe the process of outpatient diagnosis, including rule-in signs and key history questions?
The diagnosis relies heavily on a careful semiology history, recognizing warning signs, and assessing the context and locations of events; video review and, if needed, video EEG can confirm when epilepsy is suspected or unclear.
Clare Nicholson - Occupational Therapy & FND
Q: What is an occupational therapist and what do you typically treat in FND?
OTs focus on rehabilitation within daily activities, tailoring interventions to patient goals and using adaptations to support independence in home, work, and community settings, including strategies for tremor, seizures, and functional movement disorders.
Sarah Cope – FND, EMDR, & Psychotherapy
Q: What were the key inclusion criteria and safety considerations for EMDR in your FND population?
Participants needed functional seizures and/or functional motor symptoms, with safety checks including screening for dissociative identity disorder and dissociation scores; most exclusions were for active psychosis, suicidality, or significant eating disorders, while epilepsy comorbidity was allowed when seizures were well controlled.
Sarah Cope – FND, EMDR, & Psychotherapy
Q: Could you walk us through your research protocol and how it differs from standard EMDR practice?
The trial used the conventional eight-stage EMDR framework but integrated FND-specific education and formulation in the early phases, with two trial therapists delivering up to 16 sessions over six months and regular supervision to guide target selection and ensure fidelity.
