Many factors influence response to treatment, but few treatment strategies are available. Physical activity proves to be effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric disorders, but the effects of regular walking exercise on patients with PMD have never been investigated in a single\u2010blind study. Sixteen outpatients [13 women; mean age 33.0 years (range 22\u201351)] with primarily mild\u2010to\u2010moderate PMD completed a thrice\u2010weekly, 12\u2010weeks mild walking program. Assessments included DSM\u2010IV interview, the Psychogenic Movement Disorder Rating Scale (PMDRS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Hamilton Depression Scale (HDS), V02 Max, and body mass index (BMI). Changes in total score on the PMDRS were the primary endpoint. A comparison of all measures taken at study onset and after completing the exercise program indicates statistically significant improvements. We observed a relevant improvement in 10 of 16 patients (62%). The mean difference for the primary outcome (PMDRS total) corresponded to about 70%. Compliance was good, and there were no adverse effects. This study provides preliminary evidence for regular low\u2010medium intensity exercise as a safe, adequate, and pleasing intervention for PMD. Furthermore, well\u2010designed studies appear justified to confirm these findings. \u00a9 2010 Movement Disorder Society<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.22952","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,27]],"date-time":"2010-01-27T17:30:07Z","timestamp":1264613407000},"page":"421-425","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["The effects of physical activity on psychogenic movement disorders"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Carlo","family":"Dallocchio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carla","family":"Arbasino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Klersy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enrico","family":"Marchioni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.59.4.406"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1092852900013535"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual for mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","first-page":"231","article-title":"Phenomenology and psychopathology related to psychogenic movement disorders","volume":"65","author":"William DT","year":"1995","journal-title":"Adv Neurol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(06)70523-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001504-200503000-00013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2004.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1249\/01.mss.0000180883.32116.28"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","volume-title":"MMPI\u20102: behaviour multiphasic personality inventory\u20102 manual for administration and scoring","author":"Butcher JN","year":"1989"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2044-8260.1967.tb00530.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.56.6.893"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.20650"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.181485"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_2","first-page":"323","volume-title":"To psychogenic movement disorders","author":"Jankovich J","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parkreldis.2005.10.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.v66n1206"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_2","first-page":"343","volume-title":"To psychogenic movement disorders","author":"Levy JK","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/092986707782023280"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0166-2236(02)02143-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/PCC.v09n0406"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1740774506cn151oa"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_7_23_2","first-page":"A501","article-title":"Long\u2010term outcome of psychogenic tremor","volume":"62","author":"Jankovich J","year":"2004","journal-title":"Neurology"}],"container-title":["Movement Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fmds.22952","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/mds.22952","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T10:20:46Z","timestamp":1760955646000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/mds.22952"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,15]]},"references-count":22,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,15]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/mds.22952"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/mds.22952","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0885-3185","1531-8257"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0885-3185","type":"print"},{"value":"1531-8257","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,15]]}}}
