Treatments

We are skilled in all techniques available for treatment of these disorders:

  • Parkinson's disease 
  • Other parkinsonian syndromes such as:
     - Multiple system atrophy (striato-nigral degeneration; Olivo-ponto-cerebellar degeneration; Shy-Drager syndrome)
     - Progressive Supranuclear palsy
     - Corticobasal ganglionic degeneration
     - Vascular parkinsonism
  • Dystonia
  • Tremor disorders:
     - Essential tremor
  • Other hyperkinetic movement disorders such as:
     - Tics
     - Huntington's disease and other choreic disorders
     - Myoclonic disorders
     - Drug-induced movement disorders
  • Spasticity and other conditions characterized by muscle stiffness, slowness or rigidity

We have pioneered some of these techniques, such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), fetal nigral cell transplantation, intrathecal baclofen (ITB) and botulinum toxin injections. We have helped design and have participated in several trials for new drugs to treat symptoms or affect the course of movement disorders.
