Outpatient treatments
Specialist cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
The Trust has been at the forefront internationally in developing specialist CBT for functional neurological disorders (FND) and building an evidence base for its use with large multicentre clinical trials. We have four full time CBT therapists providing outpatient CBT at the Maudsley Hospital – Ken McKeown, Clare Grey, Lorenza Tedesco, Fabio Simiao. If deemed suitable, courses of treatment are usually one hour long session per week for 12 to 14 weeks.
Neurophysiotherapy for ‘motor’ FNDs (for example, limb weakness and movement disorders such as tremor or dystonia)
Outpatient specialist physiotherapy for functional neurological disorders (FND) is available with the appointment of Emily Jay, highly specialised neurophysiotherapist.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation for ‘motor’ FND (for example, limb weakness and movement disorders such as tremor or dystonia)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is available for selected patients with motor functional neurological disorders (FND) (especially severe weakness) at King’s College Hospital with Dr Tim Nicholson, including as part of the TONICS randomised controlled trials. The development of a routine clinical service is planned.
