Development of a qualitative data analysis codebook for peri‐ictal behavior in suspected functional seizures
This is the first study to highlight the feasibility of investigating functional seizure peri-ictal behavior in a home environment, offering unique benefits to capture naturalistic social factors potentially related to seizure activity. The codebook can be validated in larger datasets to improve our understanding of how peri-ictal behavior impacts functional seizures; compare findings across studies; and inform the development of evidence-based seizure management strategies for individuals and their carers.
