Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Randomized-clinical trial of multidisciplinary approach versus psychoeducation in patients with functional movement disorders: impact to their quality of life and their caregivers' quality of life. Patients with functional movement disorders are randomized in two arms of a one-month treatment (physiotherapy + cognitive-behavioral therapy versus psychoeducational as sham intervention) with a 3-month and 5-month follow-up where the investigators will measure the change in the patients' and caregivers' quality of life. Movement disorders specialists will review the severity of symptoms as blinded raters in the 3th-month and 5th-month follow-up.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Multidisciplinary therapeutic approach

* Diagnosis of Functional Movement Disorders by one of the PI (Movement Disorders Specialist).
* 12 physiotherapy sessions during one month (three 60-minute sessions per week) administered by a physiotherapist with experience in functional neurological disorders.
* 4 cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions during one month (one 60-minute intervention per week) administered by a psychologist with experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multidisciplinary therapeutic approach (physiotherapy plus cognitive-behavioral therapy)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients randomly allocated to this arm of intervention will receive an ambulatory therapy regime of twelve 60-minute physiotherapy sessions plus four 60-minute psychotherapy sessions throughout one month of treatment

Psychoeducation

* Diagnosis of Functional Movement Disorders by one of the PI (Movement Disorders Specialist).
* 4 psychoeducational sessions (one 60-minute intervention per week) administered by a psychologist with experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy.
