The movement disorders neurology group at RUSH University Medical Center is one of the largest and most experienced groups in the world, with clinicians who specialize in managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. One of the treatment modalities they use to treat these patients is deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS helps patients with movement disorders control their symptoms of tremor, rigidity, stiffness, slowed or abnormal movements and walking problems. RUSH treats the largest number of DBS patients in the Midwest.
Dr. Neepa Patel is a neurologist in the RUSH University System for Health and the director for the Movement Disorder Interventional Program in the Department of Neurological Sciences. Her interests include improving the quality and delivery of care for patients receiving deep brain stimulation (DBS) and education to improve the utilization of new therapies in movement disorders. She is also part of the RUSH team caring for essential and Parkinsonian tremor patients with MR-guided focused ultrasound, an incisionless treatment designed to reduce hand tremor.
“We work in a very comprehensive, multidisciplinary, team-based approach at RUSH to treat patients with movement disorders using DBS. We share our ideas and experiences because everyone comes from different training backgrounds, different expertise and years of experience in managing patients. This helps us take care of patients who are nontraditional, but who still could benefit from this therapy.”
