Diseases

Our medical group is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases classified within Abnormal Movements.

Among the diseases we treat are the following:
  • Parkinson’s
  • Choreiform movements
  • Atypical Parkinson’s
  • Involuntary movements of psychogenic origin
  • Dystonia
  • Myoclonus
  • Tremors
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Tics
  • etc.

For a person to suffer from Parkinson's disease, according to the criteria of the Brain Bank of the Queen Square Hospital in London, he/she must have at least two of the following symptoms: resting tremor, rigidity and slowness. There should also be an improvement of at least 50% of the symptoms after taking l-dopa and no atypical signs should exist (dementia, dysautonomic disorders, parkinsonizing agents, etc.).

Dystonia is a condition characterized by involuntary posturing and sustained muscle contractions.

Tremors are not a disease. It is a clinical sign whose form of appearance depends on the accompanying disease (multiple sclerosis, essential tremor, brain trauma or Parkinson's).
