Seven of 71 patients with complex partial seizures claimed they were able to abate their seizures, while none of 18 with simple partial seizures were able to do so. Self-abatement exercises included highly stereotyped cognitive and physical components unique to the individual. Those who could abate their seizures had attained higher educational status, better social and vocational adjustment, and better psychological adjustment than did the control group of patients with epilepsy. The self-abatement group was also more likely to have right hemispheric electroencephalographic abnormalities. Characterization of the self-abatement group may be relevant to the selection of candidates for behavioral therapy for epilepsy.
71例复杂部分性发作患者中有7人声称他们能够减轻发作，而18例简单部分性发作患者中无人能够做到这一点。自我减轻发作的练习包括个体特有的高度刻板的认知和身体成分。与癫痫对照组患者相比，那些能够减轻发作的患者获得了更高的教育水平、更好的社会和职业适应能力以及更好的心理调适能力。自我减轻发作组也更有可能存在右半球脑电图异常。对自我减轻发作组的特征描述可能与癫痫行为治疗候选者的选择有关。
