Brain Stimulation for Functional Neurological Disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can help improve movement problems caused by functional neurological disorder (FND). The study measures whether patients feel their symptoms improve after receiving this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with functional neurological disorder (FND) — either weakness, numbness, or involuntary movements — by a neurologist
- Your doctor has already determined that rTMS treatment is appropriate for you
- You are willing to participate and have not objected to the study
- You are not under legal guardianship, conservatorship, or court-ordered supervision
- You are not currently deprived of liberty (imprisoned or detained)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether combining a brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with physical therapy helps people with functional neurological disorder (FND) walk more safely and independently. FND affects how the brain controls movement, and this approach may help retrain the brain.
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.
This trial tests if a fast form of brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce seizures that are caused by stress or emotional triggers — not epilepsy. It's for people who have been diagnosed with functional seizures and have not gotten better with talk therapy alone.
This research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with frontotemporal lobar degeneration. It is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that may improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
