ReACT
Retraining and Control Therapy (ReACT)
ReACT is a treatment developed by Dr. Aaron Fobian, Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, that uses research-supported approaches designed to help manage and reduce the symptoms of FND by retraining control over involuntary symptoms. It uses principles of habit reversal and other evidence-based techniques to retrain the involuntary, reflexive functional symptoms, empowering individuals to regain control over their bodies. ReACT utilizes the Precision Treatment Tool, an innovative psychologist-centered digital platform.
Research on ReACT is ongoing, including two NIH-funded studies on ReACT: a mechanistically-focused NIMH-funded study to confirm the treatment targets by which ReACT is effective and a NCCIH-funded multi-site feasibility trial with Yale University and Baylor College of Medicine in preparation for a large efficacy trial.

ReACT FND Health
ReACT FND Health was born from the innovative research at UAB described above. Following the 2020 publication of the first-ever pilot randomized controlled trial in pediatric FND demonstrating that ReACT significantly improves symptoms in adolescents with functional seizures, Dr. Aaron Fobian recognized both the urgent demand from patients seeking FND-informed treatment and the growing interest among providers for specialized training. As access to research-supported FND care remained limited, she began working with UAB’s Harbert Institute for Innovation & Entrepreneurship to formally launch ReACT FND Health.
Joined by Dr. Areti Vassilopoulos as Chief Operations Officer, the company began accepting patients across the U.S. via telehealth in January 2025. In April 2025, ReACT FND Health certified its first external psychologist in Iceland—marking a major milestone in global provider training. This launch signified the transformation of ReACT from a tested academic intervention into a scalable healthcare company with both national and international impact.
Our mission is clear and driven:
- To ensure every individual with FND has access to research‑supported treatment
- To expand access through direct patient care and training new, FND‑informed clinicians
