New test may reveal how brain perceives control in movement disorders
NCT ID NCT07302308
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how people with functional movement disorders (FMD) experience a sense of control over their actions. Researchers will measure how quickly participants respond when asked if they caused an action, using a computer task. The goal is to develop a more objective way to assess this sense of agency, which is often impaired in FMD. The study involves 30 adults with FMD and healthy volunteers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a better understanding of functional movement disorders and improve diagnosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It does not test a treatment.
