【 摘 要 】

Functional movement disorders (FMDs) are a complex medical problem requiring a set of different diagnostic and treatment approaches: neurological, psychiatric, psychotherapeutic, and neurophysiological. With the advent of positive criteria for the diagnosis of FMDs, the latter are no longer just a diagnosis of exclusion, which is difficult for clinical interpretation. The review considers positive clinical and instrumental diagnostic criteria and presents the neurophysiological characteristics of functional tremor and functional myoclonus, which allow one to suspect this diagnosis. Their timely recognition is extremely important, as this permits patients to reduce the cost of unnecessary examinations and ineffective drugs and increases the chances for successful treatment, since the best prognosis is noted with the shortest duration of the disease.
