NPF Patient Care

Vanderbilt is fortunate to have a strong group of clinicians in the Department of Neurology who specialize in movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and Multi-System Atrophy. Our Movement Disorder Division neurologists provide clinical care and also conduct clinical and basic research relating to Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders. In addition, there is a specialty practice for patients with dysautonomia, including Multi-System Atrophy (previously called Shy-Drager syndrome). Finally, our neurologists and neurosurgeons closely collaborate and offer surgical approaches to the treatment of movement disorders, including deep brain stimulation and pallidotomy.
