Summary

This study tests whether a type of talking therapy called neurobehavioral therapy (NBT) can help people with motor functional neurological disorder (mFND), a condition where the brain has trouble sending the right signals to the body, causing movement problems. The trial will compare 12 weekly sessions of NBT plus standard care to standard care alone in 40 adults. Researchers will track symptoms, functioning, and quality of life over a year to see if NBT leads to meaningful improvement.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective, non-drug treatment option for people with functional motor disorder, reducing symptoms and improving daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires weekly sessions for 12 weeks, and not everyone may respond.
