Motor functional neurological disorders (FNDs) are motor symptoms not explained
by a lesion or related to a known dysfunction of the central nervous system, yet
functional imaging studies suggest the presence of a genuine brain dysfunction.
With this common disabling condition, there is a particular need for
collaboration between neurologists and psychiatrists. Neurologists can search for
positive clinical signs to make the diagnosis, which can then be followed by an
explanation of the disease, whereas psychiatrists can look for psychological
factors and psychiatric comorbidities in order to deliver appropriate treatment.
Such a multidisciplinary approach is important, particularly with the
participation of neurologists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists and psychologists.
If necessary, additional treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS), hypnosis and sedation may be proposed.
