The Massachusetts General Hospital Movement Disorders Unit provides diagnosis, treatment, and support to patients with movement disorders such as Dystonias, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD), Tourette’s disorder, tremor, and other rare diseases and conditions.
The Movement Disorders Unit also offers these specialized clinics:
Our physicians are highly trained in the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders, and are leaders of research in their chosen sub-specialty. Many serve on advisory committees for private organizations such as the National Parkinson Foundation, the Parkinson Disease Foundation and the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation.
Their work in the research lab and in clinical research studies is leading to a better understanding of disease mechanisms, which in turn leads to better diagnosis, better treatments, and ultimately, will point the way to cures.
