Pilot Neurobehavioral Therapy for Functional Neurological Disorder

SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36)

The SF-36 is a 36-item self-report measure that assess 8 domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, emotional well-being, social functioning, energy/fatigue, and general health perceptions.

Psychogenic Movement Disorders Rating Scale (PMDRS)

The PMDRS is a clinical assessment tool designed to measure the severity and characteristics of abnormal movements associated with psychogenic movement disorders (also called functional movement disorders), including details like the type of movement, affected body regions, duration, and functional impact of the symptoms, allowing clinicians to track changes over time and evaluate treatment efficacy.

Simplified Functional Movement Disorders Rating Scale (S-FMDRS)

The S-FMDRS is a clinical tool used to assess the severity of functional movement disorders (FMDs) by evaluating the presence and intensity of abnormal movements in different body regions, including gait and speech.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7)

The GAD-7 is a 7 item self-report measure that assesses Anxiety severity from "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day) on each question. The highest possible score is "21", relating to the highest severity of Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)

The PHQ-9 is a 9-item self-report measure instrument that assesses the severity of Depression on a scale from "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day). The maximum score is 27.

Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-15)

The PHQ-15 is a 15-item self-report measure instrument that assesses the presence and severity of somatic symptoms on a scale from "0" (not bothered at all) to "2" (bothered a lot). The maximum score is 30.

Posttraumatic Scale Checklist-5 (PCL-5)

The PCL-5 is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms.

Abnormal Movement Log

The Abnormal Movements Log is a daily diary to track unusual movements over the course of a week. Each day, individuals will record a series of details in relation to their mFND such as the number, duration, time, body parts affected, type of movement, severity (mild, moderate, severe), triggers, warning signs, what helps, and how it impacts themselves and others. The Principal Investigator will review the movement logs during study visits to better understand ones symptoms and how impactful they are one ones day. It's a simple tool aimed to identify patterns and improve care.

Status Survey

The Status Survey is a 17 item self report measure that assesses research participants experience with motor Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) through the duration of the trial. The survey asks about current symptoms, emergency room visits, medications (for movement, anxiety, or depression), new therapies, and any new or worsening symptoms. It also includes questions about individuals daily life, such as work, disability status, driving, and overall quality of life over the past four weeks. The goal is to gather updates on how individuals are managing FND and its impact on ones well-being.
