Introducing Virtual Shared Medical Appointments as a Novel Treatment Platform for Functional Movement Disorders.
Article in Tremor and other hyperkinetic movements (New York, N.Y.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The landscape of medical care has rapidly evolved with technological advancements, particularly through the widespread adoption of virtual appointments catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift has transcended geographical barriers, enhancing access for underserved populations and those with disabilities to specialized healthcare providers. A notable development stemming from this trend is the emergence of virtual shared medical appointments (VSMAs), which integrate group-based education with telemedicine technology. While VSMAs have demonstrated efficacy in conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and neurological disorders, their effectiveness in managing Functional Movement Disorders (FMD) is currently under investigation. FMDs pose unique challenges in diagnosis and acceptance, with high rates of misdiagnosis and treatment delays. VSMAs offer a promising solution by providing educational modules and fostering peer support among patients with similar diagnoses. At the Cleveland Clinic Center for Neurological Restoration, VSMAs have been embraced to enhance care standards for FMD patients. The program facilitates educational sessions and follow-up meetings to improve treatment adherence and psychological well-being. Early outcomes indicate increased patient acceptance and engagement, with significant program growth observed. Ongoing research aims to evaluate stakeholder perspectives and refine session content to further reduce stigma and the healthcare burden associated with FMDs.
