Search for autonomously proliferating spinal fluid lymphocytes in patients with multiple sclerosis.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Functional or psychogenic movement disorders (FMD) present a diagnostic challenge. To diagnose FMD, clinicians must have experience with signs typical of FMD and distinguishing features from other hyperkinetic disorders. The aim of this study was to clarify the decision-making process of expert clinicians whi...
