Summary: Patients with functional movement disorders (FMD) present with abnormal movements incompatible with symptoms of well-defined neurological disorders and are not associated with structural abnormality of the nervous system. FMD are very common. However, the pattern of care of these patients is highly inconsistent and most patients feel dissatisfied with the treatment they receive. One reason for thi...

Summary: Conversion disorders, also called dissociative disorders (ICD-10), or functional neurological disorders (DSM-5), are a common condition, with a prevalence of 1-10% in medical and surgical inpatients (Toone 1990), and 10-30% in neurology patients (Carson et al. 2000).~They are characterized by the presence of symptoms or deficits affecting voluntary motor, sensory, or sensory functions suggestive o...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of laryngeal manual therapies in the treatment of globus (sensation of a lump in the throat).

Summary: Monocentric retrospective observational cohort study, using a consecutive series of patients hospitalized for FND from 2012 to 2015 in the neurology department A of the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital. During the discharge staff, an estimation of different prognostic factors had been performed in a consensual way by the medical team for all subjects. It is possible to calculate a score (POS) re...

Summary: A conversion disorder is a dysfunction of the nervous system in which no structural damage can be demonstrated. However, it must be distinguished from other psychiatric disorders such as psychosis or depression. There are a variety of signs of the disease, such as muscle paralysis, uncontrolled tremors or cramps. In rarer cases, blindness, deafness or numbness may occur. Diagnosing this complex di...

Summary: The objective of this study is to determine the effects of the ketogenic diet on the frequency of non-epileptic seizures in patients with functional neurological symptoms disorder compared to a healthy diet.

Summary: Conversion disorder refers to impaired voluntary motor or sensory functions that are not compatible with a well-known neurological condition. This disorder affects up to 30% of hospitalized patients in neurology departments and symptoms persist in 35% of patients after 12 years of evolution. Despite a poor prognosis, no treatments have been validated to date.~The development of non-invasive brain ...

Summary: Functional Neurological Disorder (FND/ Conversion Disorder) is a highly prevalent and disabling neuropsychiatric condition. Motor FND symptoms include Nonepileptic Seizures, Functional Movement Disorders and Functional Weakness. Clinical research across these motor FND subtypes, including research studies from the candidate's laboratory, suggest that these populations share many clinical and pheno...

Summary: Early onset schizophrenia early dissociative disorder is a rare disorder with a low incidence of approximately (1/5000 to 1/20000). Its link with autism spectrum disorders remains unknown although both are serious neurodevelopmental diseases. As part of the 2011-2013 Interregional hospital Clinical Research program, University Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Pediatric Hospitals of CH...
