Delighted to report our study on sensory symptoms has been published in @braincomms.bsky.social - @jonstoneneuro.bsky.social, Prof. Mark Edwards, Dr. Jan Coebergh, @roryhigginsphysio.bsky.social, @gnielsenphysio.bsky.social academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

Milestone for FND care in Germany: first guideline on functional motor disorder, published by German Neurol. Society. I contributed to comorbidities, pharmacotherapy & placebo/nocebo. Hope it's a valuable resource for clinicians & support people living with FND. register.awmf.org/de/leitlinie...

These two papers in Lancet Psychiatry about placebo/nocebo in practice and in trials are very worth reading. Be mindful about expectation in your patients/yourself, and critical even with RCTs. I hope reporting on placebo conditions, treatment expectations and blinding success improves steadily!!

Her tremors and migraine lasted for days. And for years afterwards, doctors would ask her: Did anything upset you recently? Are you stressed? Have you talked to a therapist about your anxiety? She underwent surgeries and took medications that were, in hindsight, unnecessary. It wasn’t until seeing Dr. David Perez, a neurologis...www.npr.org

Good story - and reflects how long people with FND often have to wait to get diagnosed FND should be part of standard medical training in every country so doctors don’t miss this condition

Very gratified to see the European Academy of Neurology has endorsed the AAN guidelines for management of functional seizures. Hope this means an improved approach and standard of care for people w/ this condition in Europe - and of course much much more research needed www.aan.com/Guidelines/H...
