Current Opinions and Practices in Functional Neurological Disorders: A Survey of Indian Neurologists
Our survey highlights evolving trends and persistent challenges in FND care in India. While the adoption of "functional" terminology, home-based videos for diagnosis, and multidisciplinary approaches mark progress, barriers include time constraints, and prevalent myths. Underutilization of neurophysiological tools is a significant barrier, and professional engagement in FND research and societies is also limited. Enhancing education, specialized training, and professional engagement is essential for improving FND care.
