Thinking and attention in functional neurological disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at a condition called 'cognitive disengagement syndrome' in people with Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (also known as conversion disorder). Researchers want to understand how thinking and attention may be affected, and they need both people with the disorder and healthy volunteers to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study looks at how psychiatric and neurological conditions affect thinking and memory skills. By comparing patients with healthy volunteers, researchers hope to better understand these cognitive problems and find new ways to help.
This study tests if we can track movement and activity remotely in people with functional neurologic disorder (FND). It aims to understand daily activity patterns and may help develop better ways to monitor symptoms at home.
This study looks at people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who also have functional neurological disorder (FND), which are symptoms like weakness or tremors that are not caused by MS damage. The goal is to learn more about these symptoms and what might be linked to them, which could help improve care.
This study tests a type of talk therapy called neurobehavioral therapy (NBT) to help people with functional movement disorder. It aims to see if this therapy can improve symptoms and quality of life.
