Restorative Neurosciences Program

Conquering the symptoms of movement and neurological disorders

For individuals experiencing movement disorders and other symptoms associated with neurological conditions and disease, life is difficult. Tremors, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement and pain affect every aspect of their daily routines. Medications can help control symptoms, but for patients experiencing an increasing loss of control of movement or excessive pain, innovative surgical procedures can provide relief, allowing them to lead more normal and fulfilling lives.

The Restorative Neurosciences Program at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin is a leading resource for restorative and deep brain stimulation surgery. Candidates for these procedures include any patient with a movement disorder that is not responding adequately to medication. These include individuals experiencing symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia and more.

Surgery is also being used to treat various pain disorders and chronic pain associated with conditions such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, failed back syndrome and cancer.
