Testing vagus nerve stimulation for movement symptoms in FND
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation can help people with functional neurological disorder (FND) who have tremor or weakness in their arm. It aims to understand how the brain controls movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a diagnosis of FND from a neurologist or psychiatrist.
- You have motor symptoms in your upper limb, like tremor or weakness.
- You are currently doing physiotherapy for FND.
- You do not have severe mental health conditions, epilepsy, or implanted medical devices.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 tests whether adding brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to physical therapy can improve walking in people with functional neurological disorder (FND). It may help people with leg weakness and walking problems.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve that helps control heart rate and digestion) can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a new way to help with mobility problems.
This study tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a nerve in your neck) can improve leg muscle activity and walking balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You would participate in experiments while wearing the device to see how it affects your movement.
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
