Clinical Trial: Investigating the Neurophysiology of the Motor System and the Feasibility of Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

U.S., July 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07710677) titled 'Investigating the Neurophysiology of the Motor System and the Feasibility of Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)' on June 24.

Brief Summary: This clinical study will test if adding a non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear during physiotherapy brings an improvement to FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) patients with motor symptoms.

First, the investigators will test the normal functioning of the motor regions of the brain in FND patients and in healthy volunteers for comparison, using a painless method called TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). Then, the investigators will ...
