Clinical spectrum of Functional Movement Disorders: A clinic based study from a developing country
Objective: We did a retrospective record review to determine the proportion of patients with functional MD visiting our clinic and to characterize the phenomenology of…The role of attention in functional movement disorders
Objective: Identify where the attentional focus naturally lies in functional movement disorders and evaluate which abnormal attentional foci contribute to symptom generation. The ultimate aim…Can a smartphone accelerometer differentiate between functional and organic tremor ?
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine if a smartphone accelerometer can distinguish functional tremor from organic tremor. Background: Differentiating functional tremor from…Incongruity of Functional Tremor Predicts Better Response to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment
Objective: We hypothesised that patient whose functional tremor (FT) has more “voluntary” aspects may respond better to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Background: Patients with…rTMS-induced effects on Functional Tremor: a randomized, double-blind, controlled study
Objective: To compare the effect on functional tremor (FT) of real rTMS vs sham and to test if hypnosis combined with rTMS might help to…Electrophysiological characteristics of task-specific and position-specific tremor: A variant of dystonic tremor?
Objective: To explore the role of the bedside electrophysiological tests and the characteristics of tremor in task-specific and position-specific tremor. Background: Task-specific and position-specific tremors…Subjective and objective complaints of (functional) tremor: An individual approach
Objective: To correlate subjective and objective symptom fluctuations in patients with a functional (FT) or organic tremor (OT). Furthermore, to study the contribution of factors…Psychogenic Palatal Tremor: A Case Report
Objective: Palatal tremor(PT) is an extremly rare movement disorder, defined by rhythmic movements of the soft palate. PT is divided into two forms: essential PT(EPT)…Quantitative characterisation of tremor in functional and organic tremor patients
Objective: To quantify tremor characteristics using inertial sensors in functional and organic tremor patients and to present the differences in tremor quantification between these two…Using wavelet coherence analysis to distinguish between tremor types
Objective: To distinguish between types of tremor using wavelet coherence analysis. Background: To discriminate between tremor types can be challenging in clinical practice. Standard electromyographic…
