Objectives <p>To describe the clinical features and a structure, non-invasive induction protocol performed during video electroencephalography (V-EEG) of children with functional neurological symptom disorder (FNSD).</p> Methods <p>This observational study conducted over 1&#xa0;year (November 2024–November 2025) enrolled children aged 6–14&#xa0;years with clinically suspected FNSD. The children underwent V-EEG followed by a stepwise, non-invasive induction protocol. The study assessed the success of event induction, distress during induction, time taken to induce events, and dissociative symptoms using the Childhood Dissociative Checklist (CDC).</p> Results <p>A total of 58 children (39 girls) with FNSD were included. Motor symptoms were the most common presentation (<i>n</i> = 20, 34.5%). Twenty-nine out of 35 children who underwent the induction protocol showed reproducible events during testing. Verbal suggestion focused on psychosocial stressors was the most effective technique in 22 (62.9%) children. CDC scores and distress scores were comparable across the different induction techniques (verbal suggestion, temporal compression, and moist swab application). No adverse effects related to the induction procedure were reported.</p> Conclusions <p>The non-invasive induction protocol used along with V-EEG was safe and useful supportive tool for diagnosing FNSD in children.</p>
