Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) with praxis-induced seizures consists of a complex group of generalized epileptic syndromes. The aim of the study was identifying the association between self-perception trigger factors and myoclonic jerks. Twenty-two patients were submitted to a protocol of neuropsychological activation (NPA) during video-electroencephalography (video-EEG) methods for 4-6 hours. A questionnaire was applied regarding patients' self-perception of factors that precipitate of seizures comparing with the video-EEG findings.
