De klinische studie NCT04097184 (CONVERSTIM) is een interventioneel studie bij Conversiestoornis met de status recruterend. Het doel is om 96 deelnemers te includeren vanaf 5 maart 2021. De studie wordt geleid door Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes en de voltooiing is gepland op 1 september 2025. Laatste update op ClinicalTrials.gov: 13 februari 2025.
Beknopte samenvatting
Conversion disorder refers to impaired voluntary motor or sensory functions that are not compatible with a well-known neurological condition. This disorder affects up to 30% of hospitalized patients in neurology departments and symptoms persist in 35% of patients after 12 years of evolution. Despite a poor prognosis, no treatments have been validated to date.

The development of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques has allowed the creation of treatments focused on dysfunctional brain regions associated with motor conversion disorder. Hypoactivation of prefrontal dorso-lateral cortex underlies the course of functional motor symptoms. Results of the HYCORE study conducted at Nîmes University Hospital (including 20 patients, clinicaltrial.gov NCT02329626) confirmed these results and related hypoactivation of PFDLC to persistent motor disability at 3 months and 6 months follow-up. Activation of the PFDLC could restore executive control and thus promote the recovery of motor symptoms.

However, in most repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) the primary motor areas were targeted and the clinical improvement was related to self-suggestion induced by the motor response produced.

Among the different techniques, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a medical neuromodulation device that delivers a direct, low-intensity electric current to cortical areas, facilitating neuronal activity. Recently, PFDLC stimulation via tDCS has been used to treat several neuropsychiatric disorders and shown to be effective in depression. In addition, this technique has several advantages compared to rTMS: its use is simpler and costs 5 to 8 times less, the device is portable and there is no titration procedure. The tolerance of the tDCS is also better with no risk of epileptic seizure, neuronal depolarization being absent.

Uitgebreide beschrijving
Conversion disorder, also called "functional neurological disorder" (DSM-5), refers to impaired voluntary motor or sensory functions that are not compatible with a well-known neurological condition. This disorder affects up to 30% of hospitalized patients in neurology departments (Carson et al. 2000) and the symptoms persist in 35% of patients after 12 years of evolution (Stone et al. 2003). Despite a poor prognosis, no treatments have been validated to date.

The development of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques has allowed the creation of focused treatments on dysfunctional brain regions associated with motor conversion disorder. A hypoactivation of prefrontal dorso-lateral cortex (PFDLC) underlies the course of functional motor symptoms (Spence et al. 2000); (Voon et al.2011); (Conejero et al. 2017). Results of the HYCORE study that the investigators conducted at Nîmes University Hospital (including 20 patients, clinicaltrial.gov NCT02329626) confirmed these results and related hypoactivation of PFDLC to persistent motor disability at 3 months and 6 months follow-up. Activation of the PFDLC could restore executive control and thus promote the recovery of motor symptoms.

However, in the majority of repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) the primary motor areas were targeted (Pollak et al. 2014) and the clinical improvement was related to self-suggestion induced by the motor response produced.

Among the different techniques, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a medical neuromodulation device that delivers a direct, low-intensity electric current to cortical areas, facilitating neuronal activity. Recently, PFDLC stimulation via tDCS has been used to treat several neuropsychiatric disorders and shown to be effective in depression. In addition, this technique has several advantages compared to rTMS: its use is simpler and costs 5 to 8 times less, the device is portable and there is no titration procedure. The tolerance of the tDCS is also better with no risk of epileptic seizure, neuronal depolarization being absent.

Evaluation of the efficacy of tDCS stimulation of the left PFDLC to treat motor disability in patients with conversion disorder 3 months after the intervention.
Evaluation of the efficacy of tDCS stimulation of the left PFDLC to treat motor disability in patients with conversion disorder at 3 months after the stimulation procedure with the EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale). The Expanded Disability Status Scale is a rating scale of disability divided into eight systems or functional parameters, four major: pyramidal function, cerebellar function, sensory function and brainstem function; four minor: sphincters,vision, mind and others. An encrypted score of increasing severities (0 to 6 or 7) is given to each functional parameter. The overall score of the scale is measured on a scale of 20 levels (0 to 10 per half-point). Up to level 3.5, the score obtained in each functional parameter and the number of affected functional parameters automaticaly determines the EDSS score. From 4 to 7, the definition of each level is also given by the inability to walk (ability to walk without stopping - need for assistance).

Evaluation of the efficacy on motor disability with EDSS score at D7.
Evaluation of the efficacy of the intervention on motor symptoms at D7 using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). The Expanded Disability Status Scale is a method of quantifying disability in multiple sclerosis. The scale was developed by John F. Kurtzke and an EDSS calculator is available on line. The EDSS is based on a neurological examination by a clinician, however a number of versions have been developed to enable patient self-administration.The EDSS quantifies disability in eight Functional Systems (FS) by assigning a Functional System Score (FSS) in each of these functional systems: pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel and bladder, visual, cerebral,other. The scale ranges from 0.0 (normal neurological examination) to 10.0 (death due to multiple sclerosis).

Efficacy on depression and anxiety level assessed with the HAD score (HADS) at D7
Evaluation of the efficacy of the intervention on depression and anxiety level with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at D7. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire (Zigmond and Snaith 1983) validated in French (Lépine et al., 1985) is commonly used in screening for anxio-depressive disorders in studies; it is The HADS questionnaire consists of 14 questions (7 questions about anxiety and 7 questions about depression). Each question is an MCQ with four possible answers. The final score gives a ranking of anxiety and depressive symptoms as follows: * 0-7: normal * 8-10: average * 11-14: moderate * 15 to 21: severe This scale is used in this study to characterize the state of anxiety of the population and therefore for descriptive purposes.

Tolerance to tDCS stimulation D2 - D6 Brunoni
Evaluate the tolerance to tDCS stimulation sessions from D2 to D6 with Brunoni's questionnaire.To monitor and evaluate the potential adverse effects of tDCS in patients receiving this treatment, Brunoni et al. (2011) proposed a structured questionnaire. The patient answers questions regarding symptoms or side-effects on different parts of the body and their severity ranges from 1 - 4 (1 = absent, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe). The probability of these symptoms or side-effects being related to the tDCS stimulation treatment is also noted from 1 - 5 ( 1 = none, 2 = remote, 3 = possible, 4 = probable, 5 = definite).
