The Parkinson’s Unit is dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement.
At HM Hospitales (CINAC), the Parkinson’s Unit focuses on:
Early and accurate diagnosis: identification of the disease in its initial stages, using advanced clinical and imaging tests.
Personalized treatment: design of an individualized treatment plan that may include drugs, rehabilitation therapies, deep brain stimulation (DBS), and other therapeutic options.
Control of motor symptoms: relief of the characteristic symptoms of the disease, such as tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement, and balance problems.
Management of non-motor symptoms: addressing non-motor symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, cognitive problems, and olfactory disturbances.
Improvement of quality of life: helping patients maintain their independence, autonomy, and emotional well-being.
Research and innovation: participation in clinical studies and research projects to advance the understanding and treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

Patients: people with Parkinson’s symptoms, such as tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement, balance problems, depression, anxiety, or sleep disorders.
