Abstract
There is growing evidence supporting specific approaches to treat functional neurological
disorder (FND), which commonly employ a multidisciplinary strategy guided by the biopsychosocial
model and holistic perspective. Integrative Medicine and Health is an emerging specialty
that brings together conventional and complementary modalities to deliver coordinated
and comprehensive care. Although integrative approaches can be incorporated into existing
care models, their application in the treatment of FND has not been systematically
investigated, and programs employing such approaches to FND remain exceedingly rare.
This study outlines the potential role of integrative care in FND. It will characterize
the integrative approach and highlight its potential benefits for FND, review current
evidence for relevant therapies, propose a potential clinic workflow, and illustrate
its application through clinical case vignettes.
