Rehabilitation Therapies for Functional Neurological Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials

The authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation therapies for treating functional neurological disorder (FND) through a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials. Their findings suggest that over 70% of participants experienced clinical improvement following rehabilitation, although the effect sizes varied significantly across studies. The authors conclude that while rehabilitation shows promise for FND symptoms, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to better understand its overall efficacy and the specific aspects of improvement it facilitates.
