Integrated model of care for functional movement disorder: targeting brain, mind and body.

To describe the therapy approaches and clinical outcomes of an integrated care model for patients with functional movement disorder (FMD). A retrospective chart review was conducted for all treated individuals with a primary diagnosis of FMD between January 2020 and July 2022. Patients received time-limited integrated therapy ( Forty-eight patients completed treatment (42% male; mean age, 48.5 ± 16.6 years, median symptom duration 30 months). The most common presentations were gait disorder, tremor and mixed hyperkinetic FMD. Common comorbidities included pain and fatigue. Three-quarters of patients had a comorbid psychiatric diagnosis. There was a significant reduction in S-FMDRS score following therapy (71%, These findings support that a time-limited integrated model of care is feasible and effective in treating patients with FMD. An integrated approach that draws from both mental health and physiotherapy-oriented strategies reframes functional movement disorder treatment targets and clinical outcomes, influences triage criteria, and produces new and innovative therapies.Successful outcomes depend on triaging suitable participants and individualized treatment plans that focus on functional goals.Virtual telerehabilitation in functional movement disorder is effective and offers the opportunity to work with patients in real-time in the environment where they most often experience functional neurological symptoms.
