Abstract


Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a common category of dissociative/conversion disorder and has become representative disease spectrum of functional neurological disorder (FND) and an important branch of movement disorder diseases. In 2021, we introduced the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of FMD domestically for the first time. With the progressively understanding of FMD and clinical experiences from FND ⁃ multi ⁃ disciplinary team (MDT), this article summarizes the research progress in FMD diagnosis and treatment over the past two years. Building upon the initial version, it provides a more detailed overview of FMD′s epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, along with relevant recommended insights. The aim is to offer more specific diagnostic and therapeutic foundations for clinicians.
