Study of how functional overlay affects movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at movement disorders that are functional (not caused by damage to the nervous system) or non-functional, and how a “functional overlay” may change symptoms. It is observational, meaning it does not test a new treatment, but it may help researchers better understand these differences and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people (or family members of people) who have or might have a movement disorder to better understand how symptoms change over time. You may be asked to attend study visits and complete study procedures for the duration of the study.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s disease speak, move, and think to see whether these patterns can act like a “biomarker” (a measurable sign) of the disease. It also involves healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study looks at whether having more control or “autonomy” helps you learn new movement tasks. It may help researchers find ways to improve physical therapy training for people with Parkinson’s.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
This study tests whether a special way of explaining functional movement disorders helps patients feel better and more satisfied with their care. Functional movement disorders are real conditions where the nervous system affects how the body moves, but aren't caused by structural damage like a stroke or tumor.
This study tests whether virtual reality can help people with functional or essential tremor. You may join if you have one of these tremor types or are a healthy volunteer.
