Abstract

The Children’s Somatization Inventory is used to assess the intensity of 24 somatic symptoms. This inventory was used to evaluate differences in somatic intensity between children with psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES), children with functional abdominal pain, and healthy controls. Overall, children with PNES endorsed the greatest intensity of somatic symptoms.
