Toward evidence-based severity assessment in rat models with repeated seizures: II. Chemical post-status epilepticus model.

abstract：:A recent systematic synthesis of qualitative research demonstrated that patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) often experience unsatisfactory encounters with health care practitioners (HCPs). It is important to understand such interactions from the perspective of those responsible for delivering care....
