Neurology Clinic VI – focused on Parkinsonism and other Extrapyramidal Movement Disorders

If this is an initial examination, it is advisable to bring your complete medical records from your general practitioner and a referral note, or findings from other specialists. It is recommended to be accompanied by a close relative to supplement the medical history. In our specialized outpatient clinic, we comprehensively diagnose and treat patients with extrapyramidal diseases, primarily Parkinson’s disease and other types of parkinsonism. We provide modern treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease using levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel. Furthermore, we focus on the diagnosis and treatment of central movement disorders, including dystonia, dyskinesia, myoclonus, tremors, and spasms, including the application of botulinum toxin (BTX). When treating with BTX, we utilize modern techniques as needed (EMG control during application, ultrasonographic navigation for BTX administration, neurostimulation of active muscles).
At the clinic, we indicate necessary auxiliary examinations (CT and MRI brain scans, brain SPECT, EMG, and other electrophysiological tests, or blood tests). If necessary, we indicate patient hospitalization. The clinic has a supra-regional scope and cooperates with other Slovak centers for extrapyramidal disorders, particularly UNB Bratislava-Kramáre and UPJŠ in Košice.
