Diagnostic screening for epilepsy, functional neurological disorder, and other paroxysmal disorders: A clinical survey study
The results validate the diagnostic utility of general questions about event duration, related symptoms and comorbidities in a meaningfully sampled patient cohort that was representative of people presenting with seizures or seizure-like events presumed to be epilepsy (i.e. not people presenting with an obvious diagnosis of non-epileptic seizures). Findings could inform development of standardised, patient-reported surveys to aid differential diagnosis across common neurological conditions.
