Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) by measuring movement timing and brain activity in patients with FND during deliberate movements and when expressing an 'intention' to move. This investigation will use non-invasive brain stimulation to investigate the role of the temporal-occipital-parietal junction in FND.


Clinical Trial Description

This study seeks to improve our neurophysiological understanding of Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) by measuring movement timing and brain activity while individuals with FND perform a simple pointing task. Behavioural (timing of arm and finger movement) and electrophysiological (electroencephalography; EEG) measures will be collected both at rest and while participants perform a voluntary movement task designed to discriminate between brain events related to intention vs. overt action. Furthermore, this study will investigate the ability of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to alter brain activity in the temporal-occipital-parietal junction (TPJ), a region known to be hypo-active in individuals with FND. Tasks and cortical recordings will be repeated following rTMS to determine the effect of brain stimulation on behaviour and brain activity. ;
