MODIFI Study: Qualitative Patient Interviews on Functional Neurological Disorder

Eighteen semi-structured interviews with participants diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) explore their diagnostic journey and life impact. The data was collected as part of the MODIFI feasibility study (NCT05455450) and analyzed via reflexive thematic analysis. Ivet Pritomanova published the dataset on figshare in April 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing patient-reported themes on the burden of FND in daily life based on interview transcripts.
• Modeling patient sentiment and experiences during the diagnostic process for FND.
• Identifying common themes in patient hopes for future FND treatment and care.

Strengths

• Dataset is derived from 18 semi-structured interviews, providing qualitative depth.
• The analysis identified six distinct, patient-centered themes, offering structured insights.
• Data is associated with a registered clinical feasibility study (NCT05455450).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
