Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FNSD is a common condition presenting in children and adolescents.
There is currently limited research available regarding effective treatment of pediatric FNSD. Despite this, almost all published research supports good prognosis for pediatric FNSD with all studies reporting improvement either in FNSD symptoms or in the quality of life and functioning of patients with FNSD. The most support was found for the use of cognitive behavioral therapy either as a stand-alone treatment or in the context of interdisciplinary treatment.
