Thigh-Worn gadget could reveal hidden impact of FND
NCT ID NCT07478666
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a small monitor worn on the thigh can reliably measure daily activity in people with Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND). The goal is to see if this remote tool gives a better picture of how symptoms affect real-world function than a single clinic visit. About 40 adults with FND and healthy volunteers will wear the monitor for 7 days. The results may help doctors understand day-to-day symptom impact and improve future care.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants with FND: •Neurologist-confirmed diagnosis of functional neurologic disorder with motor symptoms, sensory symptoms, dizziness, and/or seizures Healthy Controls: * Roughly matched to participants with FND for age and sex * Free from major disease that affects mobility (e.g., neurologic, movement, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, and psychiatric disorders) by history. Exclusion Criteria: Participants with FND * Physical or cognitive symptoms impairing ability to engage with the protocol (e.g., seizure frequency \> 10/day). * Diagnosis of other major neurologic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, or psychiatric disorder that affects mobility as determined by the principal investigator
