Abstract：Objective To preliminarily summarize the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of functional movement disorder(FMD)based on movement disorders clinic in China.Methods and Results A total of 593 patients with movement disorders newly diagnosed in movement disorders clinic of 22 clinical medical centers from August to September in 2023 were included,including 37 patients(6.24％)with FMD and 556 patients(93.76％)with organic movement disorder.Comparison of the epidemiological characteristics of the 2 groups,the proportions of corona virus disease(COVID-19)infection(x2=4.217,P=0.040)and psychopsychological symptoms(x2=18.694,P=0.000)in the FMD group were higher than those in the organic movement disorder group,while age(t=3.757,P=0.000),age of onset(t=3.720,P=0.000)and proportion of hypertension(x2=4.736,P=0.030)were lower than those in the organic movement disorder group.Comparison of the clinical characteristics of the 2 groups,the FMD group had higher proportions of tremor(x2=3.955,P=0.047)and myoclonus(Fisher's exact probability:P=0.011)than the organic movement disorder group,and the proportions of parkinsonism(x2=8.491,P=0.004)and gait disorder(x2=5.028,P=0.025)were lower than those in the organic movement disorder group.Conclusions The age and age of onset,as well as the proportions of COVID-19 infection,hypertension,psychopsychological symptoms,tremor,myoclonus,parkinsonism and gait disorder with FMD were different from those with organic movement disorder in China.
