Diagnosis and treatment of functional facial disorders

Abstract

Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a common conversion disorder, and those who involve the face are called functional facial disorders. It seriously affects patients' social contact and work. Most clinicians have insufficient understanding of functional facial disorders, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. This paper reviews the clinical features, electrophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and treatment of functional facial disorders to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.
