Clinical trials: Psychogenic Movement Disorder
Functional Movement Disorders
Brain Activity in People With Functional Movement Disorders
This study will use functional MRI (fMRI, a technique that shows what areas of the brain are active when performing different mental tasks), to examine how the brain in people with functional movement disorders (FMD) may differ…

Physiology of Weakness in Movement Disorders
This study will compare electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings in healthy volunteers and in people with movement disorders to examine brain activity associated with the weakness.

Seizures, Seizure Disorder
Modulating Movement Intention Via Cortical Stimulation
The purpose of this protocol is to learn about movement intention and volition. To improve such knowledge, investigators will conduct sub-studies using multiple non-invasive methodologies.
- Conditions
- Seizures, Seizure Disorder, Psychogenic Movement Disorder
- Trial name
- NCT03233399
- Testing
- rTMS of left or right angular gyrus (AG) or frontal cortex (FC), Anodal tDCS of left or right AG or FC
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 30 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- NYU Langone Health
Psychogenic Movement Disorders, Non-epileptic Seizures
Psychiatric Correlates of Psychogenic Movement Disorder and Non-Epileptic Seizure
This study will explore how the mind and the brain work to cause movement symptoms or seizures in people who do not have a recognized neurological or medical disorder.
- Trial name
- NCT00255411
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 190 people, healthy volunteers welcome

- Trial name
- NCT00056888
- Where
