Key Points

  • The aim is to characterize chronic pain syndrome within patients diagnosed with functional neurological disorder.
  • Descriptive analysis of pain characteristics in functional neurological disorder patients.
  • Assessment of pathophysiological mechanisms relating to chronic pain.
  • Evaluation of current symptomatic treatment strategies for chronic pain management.
  • Chronic pain is prevalent in functional neurological disorder patients.
  • Heterogeneity in pain mechanisms complicates treatment.
  • Need for improved strategies to manage chronic pain effectively.

Abstract

Chronic pain is very common in patients with functional neurological disorders and is characterised by highly varied pathophysiological mechanisms. Given its frequency, heterogeneity, and potential impact on other aspects of the functional neurological disorder and on its prognosis, improved management of chronic pain is needed in these patients, particularly through the optimisation of symptomatic treatment strategies.
