In this study we are going to compare efficacy between suggestion method during video EEG recording by verbal suggestion in isolation and verbal suggestion along with cotton swab or tuning fork for inducing the paroxysmal event in children aged 5 to 18 years with suspected psychogenic nonepileptic events. Still there is paucity of data regarding the optimum method for video EEG by suggestion for psychogenic nonepileptic events. We are planning to recruit 25 children aged 5 to 18 years in each of the three arms after taking informed consent from the guardian and then they will be subjected to video EEG by any one of the three suggestion methods.
