Functional neurological disorder (FND) can occur without psychological triggers and is diagnosed using clinical signs. Effective treatment requires clear communication and a multidisciplinary approach, moving beyond outdated assumptions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a common condition encountered in neurological practice.
  • Historically, FND has been misattributed solely to psychological factors, leading to diagnostic challenges and treatment gaps.
  • Patients with FND often experience a disconnect between somatic and mental health services, hindering comprehensive care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present updated knowledge on functional neurological disorder.
  • To clarify the diagnostic criteria and underlying pathophysiology of FND.
  • To emphasize the importance of effective communication and multidisciplinary care in managing FND.

Main Methods:

  • This is a clinical review, synthesizing current research and clinical insights.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Focuses on identifying positive clinical signs for diagnosis.
  • Examines the historical and current perspectives on the etiology and management of FND.

    • Main Results:

    • Functional neurological disorder can manifest independently of psychological stressors.
    • Diagnosis can be established with high confidence through specific clinical signs.
    • Current understanding challenges previous etiological assumptions about FND.

    Conclusions:

    • Functional neurological disorder is a distinct neurological condition not solely dependent on psychological factors.
    • Positive clinical signs are key diagnostic indicators for FND.
    • A collaborative, multidisciplinary approach and clear communication are essential for successful FND patient outcomes.
