For example, [[Cognitive behavioral therapy|Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)]] has a 13% improvement rate across patients with both FND and CD,<ref>{{Citation| title = Symptoms - FND Hope|url = http://fndhope.org/fnd-guide/symptoms/|website = FND Hope|access-date = 2015-11-25|language = en-US}}</ref> however is effective mainly in those with Conversion Disorder as opposed to Functional Neurological Disorder. For those with Conversion Disorder, or with a psychological trigger to their symptoms, psychological treatments have been found not to be a cure, as "‘ ... psychosocial treatments have not yet been shown to have a lasting and clinically meaningful influence on the physical complaints of polysymptomatic somatisers’ (Allen ''et al'', 2002)."<ref name="Wessely2004">{{Citation| title = There is only one functional somatic syndrome|url = http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/185/2/95|journal = The British Journal of Psychiatry | date = 2004-08-01|issn = 0007-1250|pmid = 15286058| pages = 95–96|volume = 185|issue = 2|doi = 10.1192/bjp.185.2.95|language = en | first = Simon|last = Wessely | first2 = PeterD. | last2 = White}}</ref> Treatment options can include: * Physiotherapy{{Citation needed|reason=Do not use neurosymptoms.org - does not meet science guidelines | date = 2019}} * Neurological Rehabilitation Centres * Medication such as sleeping tablets, painkillers, anti-epileptic medications and anti-depressants{{Citation needed|reason= | date = 2019}} * Psychological support which can help patients to understand their condition or support them when they experience low moods or anxiety{{Citation needed|reason= | date = 2019}} However for many patients with FNsD, accessing treatment can be difficult as availability is limited.
