Neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) is a functional cardiovascular disorder that affects a significant proportion of adolescents and is characterized by autonomic dysfunction, psychosomatic complaints, and emotional instability. Although NCD does not lead to organic heart disease, it exerts a profound impact on the quality of life (QoL) of adolescents by limiting their physical activity, reducing academic performance, and influencing psychological well-being. The purpose of this study is to analyze the main determinants of QoL in adolescents with NCD, summarize clinical and psychosocial outcomes, and discuss strategies to improve health-related quality of life.
