Resources for Parkinson's Patients

The University of Minnesota, M-Health Fairview, provides deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapeutic solutions through the clinical Department of Neurology. As one of the Udall Centers for Excellence for Parkinson's Research, the University has been recognized as one of the national forerunners for the treatment of movement disorders. The Neuromodulation Research Center (NMRC) draws patients from around the country because of its holistic approach to patient outcomes and well-being. At the heart of Minnesota’s medical alley, a confluence of research, industry, and hospitals strive to deliver world-class treatment and translational research. In that light, the NMRC partners with numerous academic units, industry partners, and non-profit organizations to deliver top-quality solutions.

Those living with dystonia, essential tremor, and Parkinson’s disease can seek assessment and consultation by neurology practitioners to determine if DBS is right for them. For many, DBS can provide immediate relief of symptoms from movement disorders. All requests for appointments or consultations with your doctor, should be made though M-Health Fairview.

Clinical Research at the NMRC

Like all medical processes, innovations in DBS need the support of volunteers willing to take part in ongoing clinical trials which test the efficacy of novel treatment methods. If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about DBS, and the research being undertaken at the NMRC and M-Health Fairview, please click below to see studies seeking volunteers. Search for 'Parkinson's disease' or 'movement disorders' in the finder. Many trials accept both those living with Parkinson's disease and healthy volunteers.
