- Functional neurological disorder (FND) in children and adolescents presents distinct challenges and opportunities compared with adult populations. Pediatric FND frequently affects high-achieving youth without significant trauma histories or psychiatric illness, […]
- This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for clinicians, patients, and other stakeholders on the management of functional seizures. Following a National Academy of Medicine-compliant process, a multidisciplinary panel conducted a systematic […]
- CONCLUSION: At 6-months post-ReACT, adolescents with FND experienced broad functional and biopsychosocial improvements. Telehealth provision demonstrates the potential to expand treatment access.
- CONCLUSIONS: The present study highlights barriers to care for pediatric patients with FND from the provider perspective in the United States. These barriers existed regardless of geography, treatment type, discipline, […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric FND treatment is available across the United States, but there is high variability in care team membership, treatment approach, and aftercare management. Future research is necessary to develop […]
- INTRODUCTION: Unexplained physical signs and symptoms represent a significant portion of patient presentations in acute care settings. Even in cases where a patient presents with a known medical condition, functional […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with lower annual household income and/or parental education experienced increased duration between FS onset and treatment and diagnosis. Research is needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying this relationship, […]
- CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Adolescents with overweight or obesity may be more vulnerable to negative cognitive effects following sleep restriction. Improved sleep hygiene and duration in this group may positively impact […]
- (1) Background: Adolescents present as a high-risk group for a range of adverse physical health outcomes during the pandemic, including sleep and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. As adolescents with overweight […]
- (1) Background: COVID-19 virtual learning reduced structural supports for adolescent physical activity and diet, threatening metabolic health, especially in teens with overweight or obesity (OWOB). (2) Methods: Adolescents (N = […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Adolescent pedestrian behavior in the simulated virtual environment was markedly different, and generally more risky, when acutely sleep restricted compared with adequately rested. Inadequate sleep may influence cognitive functioning […]
- CONCLUSIONS: The results highlight the importance of targeting parent behavior, not just child behavior, in programs that aim to reduce risk of childhood dog bites. The Blue Dog did not […]
- Pedestrian injury is among the leading causes of pediatric death in the United States and much of the world. This paper is divided into two sections. First, we review the […]
- Annually approximately 400,000 American children receive treatment for dog bites. Young children are at greatest risk and are frequently bitten following behavior that provokes familiar dogs. This study investigated the […]
- CONCLUSION: Using computer games can be an effective way to promote young children's understanding of safety and how to react in different hazardous situations.
- CONCLUSIONS: Blue Dog taught children knowledge about safe engagement with dogs, but did not influence recall or implementation of safe behaviors. Dog bites represent a significant pediatric injury concern and […]
