Brain scans probe mystery of unexplained paralysis
NCT ID NCT02329626
Summary
This study aimed to understand motor conversion disorder, a condition where psychological stress causes physical symptoms like paralysis or weakness. Researchers used special brain scans (PET scans) on 20 patients at the start of their symptoms and again 3 months later. The goal was to see if patterns in the brain scans could predict whether the physical disability would still be present 6 months later.
