Descrição detalhada
Patients will be referred to the study from all neurology centers in the Netherlands that are found willing to participate. After informed consent is acquired, patients will be randomised into one of these two groups: usual care only or the education and self help intervention added to usual care. At baseline, after 3 months and after 6 months patients will fill out questionnaires at home online or on paper.
Patients will not be blinded for the intervention. The researcher is blinded during analysis of the data. During the study contact between the researcher and the participants will be restricted to research related topics. All contact between participants and the researcher will be documented.
To increase generalisability and applicability in clinical practice after the trial the investigators have chosen to add the intervention to usual care and to keep exclusion criteria to a minimum.
Our education and self help internet intervention is an especially designed website with an educational approach. The content of the intervention is written by a team of international experts and consists of education about the mechanism of functional motor disorders and it's treatment and of self help advice and exercises. During the trial the website will only be accessible with a log-in. The education and self help internet intervention is self-explanatory and unguided.
The medical ethical committee of the University Medical Center Groningen has taken our research under review and has decided this study does not fall under the scope of the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO-Wet Mensgebonden Onderzoek).
