  • Title: [Incidence and follow-up characteristics of neurologically relevant psychogenic symptoms].
    Author: Franz M, Schellberg D, Reister G, Schepank H.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1993 Jun; 64(6):369-76. PubMed ID: 8332229.
    Abstract:
    The author reports on the prevalence and stability of the course of neurologically relevant psychogenic symptoms as well as their dependence on age and sex. Altogether 240 probands from the Mannheim Cohort Study on the epidemiology of psychogenic disorders were examined for psychogenic impairment over a 10-year period during three investigation periods. On the whole, seven neurologically relevant groups of symptoms (headache, lumbar and cervical vertebral complaints, non-systematic vertigo, functional hyperkinesia, functional paresis, sleep disturbances, concentration disturbances) differ clearly in frequency, characteristics of the course and clinical relevance.
