The role of stress-related genes and childhood trauma in the clinical phenotype of Functional Movement Disorders
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the level of stress-related genes, childhood trauma, and…Healthcare utilization and emergency department/inpatient costs in adult and pediatric functional neurological disorders
Objective: We sought to assess inpatient and emergency department (ED) healthcare utilization in functional neurological disorders (FND) in adults and children, using large federal databases.…Creutzfeld Jacob disease presenting with functional-appearing, bizarre movements without significant cognitive impairment
Objective: To report unusual presentation of Creutzfeld Jacob disease (CJD) with bizarre movements and functional characteristics. Background: Prion disease is most commonly due to CJD…The role of Genes and Gene x Environment Determinants of Stress in the pathogenesis of Functional Neurological Disorders
Objective: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the association between common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the level of genetic loci involved…Clinical Characteristics of Functional Movement Disorders: A Clinic-Based Study
Objective: We aimed to determine the frequency of functional movement disorder patients at a university outpatient neurology clinic, and highlight the clinical and phenomenological characteristics.…Functional motor disorders phenotypes. Lumping or splitting?
Objective: To study the differences in demographics, symptom characteristics, levels of impairment and motor symptom overlap between functional motor symptom phenotypes. Background: The longstanding discussion…Patients affected by functional motor symptoms are not liars: an experimental deception study with the Guilty Knowledge Task
Objective: To assess deception in patients affected by functional motor symptoms. Background: The relationship between functional neurological symptoms (FNS) and feigning is not an easy…Comparing psychosocial risk factors in patients with functional movement disorders and patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures
Objective: To compare the trauma histories and psychopathological comorbidities in patients with functional (psychogenic) movements disorders (FMD) to patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). Background:…Deficits in sensorimotor networks in functional movement disorders: A graph-theory based network analysis
Objective: To investigate the organization of functional neural networks in patients with functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (FMD). Background: Although several task-based neuroimaging studies have pointed…Correlation between self-perceived balance confidence, postural control, gait and quality of life of individuals with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the association of self-perceived balance confidence level with postural control, gait and the quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD) people on…
