Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, causing tremors, stiffness, slowness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. CIREN's Movement Disorders and Neurodegenerations Clinic treats Parkinson's and a wide range of related movement disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
About the Condition
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, causing tremors, stiffness, slowness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. CIREN's Movement Disorders and Neurodegenerations Clinic treats Parkinson's and a wide range of related movement disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
Common Symptoms
- Tremor, often beginning in one hand
- Muscle stiffness and rigidity
- Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
- Impaired balance and posture
- Non-motor symptoms including sleep and mood changes
Specialist Assessment
Comprehensive neurological and clinical evaluation (up to 7 days) including neurological examination, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and instrumental motor evaluation to define the degree and type of affectation and confirm therapeutic possibilities.
Rehabilitation Approaches
Intensive, personalized, multidisciplinary neuro-rehabilitation delivered in 4-week cycles under the direction of the neurologist. Physiotherapy, motor rehabilitation, and functional therapy focus on mobility, balance, and daily living activities.
CIREN Treatment Approaches
Movement Disorders and Neurodegenerations Clinic
Pharmacological Management
Advanced drug strategies for motor and non-motor symptoms using the most current medications worldwide, as part of a multifactorial treatment strategy.
Functional and Stereotactic Surgery
For cases that require it, neurosurgical treatment by the stereotactic method with a lesional approach to the nuclei of the base of the skull, using the stereotaxic frame.
Intensive Neuro-Rehabilitation
Personalized, multidisciplinary rehabilitation combining physiotherapy, motor rehabilitation, and functional therapy, delivered in 4-week cycles under the direction of the neurologist.
Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Direct Current stimulation, used as an innovative method to support treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Limitations of Treatment
Parkinson's disease is progressive. Rehabilitation and pharmacological management aim to control symptoms and improve quality of life but do not cure the disease or halt its progression. Treatment is individualized and confirmed only after specialist evaluation.
Medication-based treatment is separate from rehabilitation services. NeuralCIM® is included only where the specific indication is supported by reliable evidence and current authorization.
