ABSTRACT
The use of a suggestive seizure induction procedure (SSI) in medicine, particularly in the differential diagnosis of psychogenic nonepileptic epileptic seizures (PNES), is well documented. However, there is no description of standardized suggestion procedures used in children and adolescents. The research presents a standardized method of SSI with a cotton swab soaked in water. The protocol was developed based on of 544 placebo trials over ten years in a center for the differential diagnosis of children and adolescents. The protocol is a safe tool that allows inducing specific behavior in children and adolescents in whom there is a well-founded suspicion of PNES.
