Outcome measurement in functional neurological disorder: A qualitative study on the views of patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals
This is the first study to capture the views of key stakeholders on outcome assessment in FND. The findings indicate that outcome measures for FND should be patient-centred, whilst also including HCP opinion. Critical domains for assessment are FND symptoms, mental health, quality-of-life and the ability to perform activities of daily living.
