Abstract

Abstract: Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a kind of autonomic motor or sensory system disease with well-defined clinical symptoms. It has attracted the attention of many scientists due to its high incidence and heavy social burden, and many studies have promoted the development of FND. However, due to the late start of related research in China, clinicians, patients and their families have relatively weak understanding of the concept of FND and related knowledge. This article analyzes the current status of FND diagnosis and treatment in China, proposed the suggestions to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment for FND in details and enhance related study.

摘要： 功能性神经系统疾病（以下简称功能性神经疾病）是一类具有明确临床症状的自主运动或感觉系统疾病，因发病广泛和疾病负担沉重日益受到社会的高度重视。我国功能性神经疾病研究起步较晚，临床医师、患者及其家属对疾病认识不足、概念不清。本文拟对我国功能性神经疾病诊断与治疗现状进行分析，并就出台相关措施以提高我国诊断与治疗水平、加强相关研究提出建议。
