Research & Publications
Dr. Lidstone's selected PubMed-indexed work spans functional neurological disorder, functional movement disorder, rehabilitation, Parkinson's disease, placebo science, patient education, and integrated care.
Featured Areas
Sarah’s research examines how neurological symptoms and recovery are shaped by more than a diagnosis alone. It brings together movement disorders, functional neurological symptoms, rehabilitation, mental health-informed care, expectation, and the practical design of clinical services; supporting more integrated, effective care for people living with complex conditions.
Disability and Rehabilitation
Describes an integrated care model for functional movement disorder that combines neurology, physiotherapy, and mental health-informed care.
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice
Reviews rehabilitation approaches for functional dystonia and illustrates how functional recovery can be addressed in practice.
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice
Explores how patients with functional movement disorder are triaged to rehabilitation, supporting more thoughtful care pathways.
Neurologic Clinics
Addresses practical questions involved in establishing services for functional neurological disorder treatment.
Seminars in Neurology
Frames functional movement disorder diagnosis through clinical signs and a broader understanding of patient experience.
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
Uses a large individual-patient meta-analysis to clarify age, gender, and phenotype patterns in functional movement disorder.
CNS Spectrums
Argues for diagnosis that integrates neurological, psychological, and follow-up perspectives in functional neurological disorder.
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics
Reviews the evidence base for multidisciplinary care in Parkinson's disease and the value of coordinated support.
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice
Makes the case for integrated therapy approaches in functional movement disorders.
Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology
Reviews the placebo effect in Parkinson's disease and why expectation matters in neurological research and care.
Archives of General Psychiatry
Investigates how expectation can influence placebo-induced dopamine release in Parkinson disease.
