Brief Summary: Background

Functional movement disorders FMD involve involuntary movements that are not due to a recognized neurological or medical cause FMD can cause major disability Researchers want to learn more to create better treatments for FMD

Objective

To test whether non-invasive brain stimulation using transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS improves FMD symptoms

Eligibility

People between the ages of 18 and 80 who have been diagnosed with FMD by a neurologist

Design

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups One group is an active brain stimulation group and the other is a sham brain stimulation group

Participants will have a baseline visit This will include

Neurological exam

Questionnaires

Urine test

Brain MRI Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body They will be asked to respond to images on a screen while in the scanner

Within 2 weeks of the baseline visit participants will begin 5 daily sessions of TMS The active group will have stimulation delivered to the brain via a coil In the sham group a dummy coil will be used that will not deliver stimulation A total of three 3-minute cycles will be done in one visit There will be 20-minute breaks between the cycles

Participants will have visits 1 month 2 months and 6 months after their last day of TMS Their FMD symptoms will be evaluated They will complete health questionnaires These visits can be in person or virtual
Detailed Description: Study Description

The purpose of this protocol is to investigate efficacy of intermittent theta burst stimulation iTBS targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex DLPFC in patients with functional movement disorders FMD Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either active iTBS or sham stimulation of the left DLPFC for 5 consecutive daily sessions

Objectives

Primary Objective To investigate efficacy of iTBS of the left DLPFC on motor symptoms in patients with FMD

Secondary Objectives To investigate efficacy of iTBS of the left DLPFC on mood symptoms and its effect on fronto-amygdala circuit on functional neuroimaging

Endpoints

Primary Endpoint Relative change in Functional Movement Disorder Rating Scale S-FMDRS from the baseline to 1 month after iTBS vs sham 100 S-FMDRS at one-month S-FMDRS at baseline S-FMDRS at baseline

Secondary Endpoints

S-FMDRS immediately after 2 months and 6 months after the treatment
HADS at 1 month 2 months and 6 months after the treatment
DLPFC-amygdala functional connectivity
Amygdala BOLD response to emotional stimuli
