Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Clinic
The UCSF Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Clinic offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for movement disorders, including conditions related to Parkinson's such as supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal syndrome and drug-induced parkinsonism. We also treat choreiform, dystonic and tic disorders; myoclonus; and restless legs syndrome.
The clinic provides medication and surgical treatment, physical therapy and services for family support. Although there’s no cure for Parkinson's disease, treatments such as deep brain stimulation are available to relieve symptoms.
In addition to treating patients, our team conducts research to find new treatments and, ultimately, a cure. The clinic has been designated a center of excellence by the Parkinson’s Foundation since 1992.
We are part of the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences.
