Abstract

Objective: Functional neurological symptom disorder (FNSD) is a neuropsychiatric condition characterized by signs/symptoms associated with brain network dysfunction. FNSDs are common and are associated with high healthcare costs. FNSDs are relevant to neuropsychologists, as they frequently present with chronic neuropsychiatric symptoms, subjective cognitive concerns, and/or low neuropsychological test scores, with associated disability and reduced quality of life. However, neuropsychologists in some settings are not involved in care of patients with FNSDs. This review summarizes relevant FNSD literature with a focus on the role of neuropsychologists.

Methods: A brief review of the literature is provided with respect to epidemiology, public health impact, symptomatology, pathophysiology, and treatment.

Results: Two primary areas of focus for this review are the following: (1) increasing neuropsychologists' training in FNSDs, and (2) increasing neuropsychologists' role in assessment and treatment of FNSD patients.

Conclusions: Patients with FNSD would benefit from increased involvement of neuropsychologists in their care.

神经心理学在功能性神经症状障碍患者护理中的作用。

目的：功能性神经症状障碍（FNSD）是一种神经精神疾病，其特征是出现与脑网络功能障碍相关的体征/症状。功能性神经症状障碍很常见，且医疗费用高昂。FNSD 与神经心理学家息息相关，因为他们经常出现慢性神经精神症状、主观认知问题和/或神经心理测试得分低，并伴有残疾和生活质量下降。然而，在某些情况下，神经心理学家并不参与 FNSD 患者的护理工作。本综述总结了相关的 FNSD 文献，重点关注神经心理学家的作用：方法：简要回顾了有关流行病学、公共健康影响、症状学、病理生理学和治疗方面的文献：本综述主要关注以下两个方面：(结果：本综述主要关注以下两个方面：（1）加强神经心理学家在 FNSD 方面的培训；（2）加强神经心理学家在 FNSD 患者评估和治疗方面的作用：结论：神经心理学家更多地参与 FNSD 患者的治疗将使患者受益。
