Work difficulties, work restrictions, and disability benefits in people with functional seizures: A survey study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Functional seizures (FS) cause significant long-term disability and clinicians offer differing views on proper work restrictions and qualifications for disability benefits in this population. We assess the views and perspectives of experienced disability and work limitations in people living with functional seizures.

Methods

Between (4/29/2020-1/13/2021) an open-access 21-item internet survey was conducted via FNDHope.org; allowing for people living with self-reported functional seizures to remark on topics of work difficulties, work restrictions, qualifications for disability benefits, and driving. Demographic information was collected, and univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to evaluate potential predictors of current employment status.
