Abstract
Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a common manifestation of functional neurological disorder presenting with diverse phenotypes such as tremor, weakness and gait disorder. Our current understanding of the basic epidemiological features of this condition is unclear.
We aimed to...
A new article about fnd. Is he trying to shift emphasis but I doubt it
Diagnosis and management of functional neurological disorder

I am trying to find more information on Hoover’s test.
So the main question is it a valid test or a pseudo science masquerading as scientific like all the fnd theories.
Abstract
Background
Patients with functional neurological disorders (FND) often present with multiple motor, sensory, psychological and cognitive symptoms. In order to explore the relationship between these common symptoms, we performed a detailed clinical assessment of motor, non-motor...
Reports, incorporating video footage, of neurological symptoms such as paralysis and seizures as a complication of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination are circulating on social media and have caught the attention of the professional community.1 It is an urgent task to determine whether these are coincidental...
This thread is for discussion about the concept of Functional Neurological Disorder, and of articles and social media posts on the topic that don't warrant their own thread.
Note - there is another thread on this topic here which has now been closed.
As the title suggests, this thread is for...

To the editor:
Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a prevalent and costly neuropsychiatric condition receiving renewed interest.1 The renaissance occurring in this field has been catalyzed in part by an emphasis on detecting physical examination signs specific for the diagnosis...
Abstract
Over the centuries, various etiologies have been proposed to explain functional neurological disorders (FND), including functional seizures. These have included models relying on supernatural influences upon the body, emphasis on consequences of malfunctioning reproductive organs, the...

Highlights
• A grounded theory approach explored idiopathic drop attacks.
• Our proposed model is consistent with current cognitive behavioural models of FND.
• A main precipitating factor of a fall related to another cause was identified.
• External...

ABSTRACT
Functional neurologic (conversion) disorder (FND) is a core neuropsychiatric condition directly at the intersection of psychiatry and neurology. Over the past several decades, renewed interest in FND has been catalyzed by use of a “rule-in” diagnostic approach leveraging positive...
Abstract
Objective:
Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a core neuropsychiatric condition. To date, promising yet inconsistently identified neural circuit profiles have been observed in patients with FND, suggesting that gaps remain in our systems-level neurobiological understanding. As...
Highlights
• Existing evidence-based psychotherapeutic modalities for FNDs are based on different theoretical foundations.
• However, there is considerable overlap between modalities regarding tools and targets.
• Congruence between treatment rationale and patient characteristics may guide...
Highlights
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) can be manifestations of PD and DLB.
FND/SSD appear at prodromal/early stages of PD, then subside with motor worsening.
In cognitively impaired patients, FND/SSD may evolve into somatic delusions.
