Brief therapy for Functional Cognitive Disorder: a feasibility study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a brief psychological therapy for people with Functional Cognitive Disorder (difficulties with memory or thinking that aren't linked to a brain disease). The goal is to see if this approach can help manage symptoms and if it is possible to run a larger trial.
