Advanced procedures and technology

• DaTscan – The Movement Disorders and Neurodegenerative Disease Center was one of the first centers in the country to offer DaTscan, a unique diagnostic tool for patients with difficult-to-diagnose movement disorders.
• Deep Brain Stimulation – If DBS is determined to be appropriate for a patient, a dedicated team of experienced neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, neuroradiologists, neuropsychologists and specialized nurses combine efforts in order to achieve an optimal outcome for each patient.

Clinical trials

Clinical research at the Movement Disorders and Neurodegenerative Disease Center bridges the findings of basic science, enlightens understanding of diseases and makes vital contributions to the development of new and better therapies. Through the combined efforts of our patient volunteers, clinical investigators, various disciplines and departments, we aim to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders and diseases.

Patient and caregiver support

• Support Groups – Support and knowing you are not alone with your illness can make a big difference in recovery. Educational seminars on the latest evidence-based treatments from both medical and rehabilitation perspectives are presented for patients and caregivers. Meetings also include time to openly discuss concerns, accomplishments and resources, and hear from other healthcare specialists who participate as guest speakers.
