Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is when the brain has difficulties sending and receiving signals . As a result people can experience problems in how their body and senses work, but there is no physical problem to treat.

Currently there is little treatment to offer after diagnosis, this study will investigate the feasibility and potential benefit to offering a group intervention to people with FND. This group intervention will offer chance to access information and the opportunity to meet others with the similar difficulties. Eligible participants will be those currently attending neurology clinics within NHS Grampian. Participants will complete prior to, during and at 3 months after the group is completed. These measures include health care use of participants, reported physical symptoms, subjective quality of ife and mood we will also take a brief measure of attention and concentration. Reported physical symptoms, subjective quality of life and mood will also be collected before the first group and at the last group.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Data will be explored using the reliable and clinically significant change analysis (Morely, Williams \& Hussain, 2008). This analysis allows pre and post treatment scores to be compared to see if participants have achieved a level of difference that could be categorized as real and not due to measurement error. Furthermore this score can be helpful to determine if the change seen is clinically significant.
