Movement disorders can be relentlessly progressive and disabling conditions. Untreatable a mere 50 years ago, there has been steady progress in the treatment of these conditions. Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of these disorders have led to tremendous progress in treatments —medical and surgical – for Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Tourette syndrome, dystonia, tremor, functional movement disorders and other related conditions.
