New study aims to map out best treatments for FND
NCT ID NCT06362161
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will create and test a team-based treatment program for people with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that causes symptoms like seizures, dizziness, and tics without a clear physical cause. Researchers will enroll 1,100 adults and children at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, using psychiatry, speech, physical, and occupational therapy. The goal is to measure how well the program works by tracking symptoms, daily function, and quality of life before and after treatment.
