Using Digital Speech Markers to Classify Functional Speech Disorder: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study
This proof-of-principle pilot study successfully classified FND-speech versus HCs, highlighting the potential of digital speech markers to serve as adjunctive diagnostic markers for FND-speech. Out-of-sample replication and larger-scale classifier efforts incorporating neurological controls are needed. © 2025 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
