Breathing Control as a treatment for Non-Epileptic Seizures

非癫痫发作（NES）是一种看起来像癫痫但不是癫痫的发作，相反，它被认为是对问题的心理反应。然而，从心理上治疗它们是困难的，而且通常不起作用。我们发现病人的发作包括过度换气，就像恐慌发作一样，可以通过教他们以类似的方式控制呼吸来停止。在本研究中，我们旨在通过完成呼吸控制训练试验来证明这一点。

Non-epileptic Seizures (NES) are fits that look like epilepsy but are not, and are instead thought to be a psychological response to problems. Treating them psychologically is difficult, however, and doesn't usually work. We have discovered that patients' fits involve hyperventilation, like a panic attack, and can be stopped by teaching them to control their breathing in a similar way. In this study we aim to prove this, by completing a trial of breath control training in NES.
