Deep dives
Understanding Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Transition from Hospital to Home
Working with patients diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) requires a nuanced approach, distinguishing between pure FND cases and those with a functional overlay on an organic condition. For patients with FND overlay, triggers like movement disorders or existing pathologies can complicate treatment strategies, requiring a deep understanding of neurology and pain principles. Pacing is a key aspect when managing FND cases, focusing on gradual progress to avoid symptom flare-ups. Encouraging patient self-awareness of triggers and symptoms, creating personalized management plans, and facilitating smooth transitions from hospital to home are essential for effective FND treatment.
