Dance moves tested as therapy for Brain-Body disorder
NCT ID NCT07378488
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured dance and movement program is practical and acceptable for people with functional neurological disorder (FND), a condition where the brain doesn't send proper signals to the body. Thirty adults with FND will be randomly assigned to either dance/movement therapy or a physical exercise group. The goal is to see if people stick with the program and find it helpful, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- structured dance/movement therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new, accessible therapy to help people with FND feel more at home in their bodies and reduce symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. It is not designed to prove the therapy works, only that it can be tested.
