ANA Highlights: Functional Movement Disorders: Advances in Pathophysiology and Treatment

Functional Movement Disorders (FMD) are as prevalent as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) yet remain understudied. Like MS, FMD predominantly affect women, has historically been referred to as “hysteria” or “conversion disorder” and remains a highly stigmatized condition. In this 43 minute video, Dr. LaFaver walks us through history, etiology, diagnostic considerations, and treatment options for FMD. Her call to ANA researchers is to join her in helping these underserved and often highly disabled patients through clinical and translational research efforts and establishing specialized treatment centers throughout the US.
