The Ohio State Parkinson’s Disease and other Movement Disorders Community is designed to connect you to the information, resources and support you need.
The Madden Center for Parkinson’s Disease is dedicated to providing the best resources, care and support for people with Parkinson’s disease and their families. We help patients manage their movement disorders by offering classes, lectures and events that bring the PD community together.
Educational Events
Our strong commitment towards patient-centered initiatives is reflected in “Understanding the Disease,” an educational series for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and their families. This patient-centered initiative aims to provide a quarterly clinical and research update on the most critical innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of PD and a moment of discussion between the OSU providers and the PD community. Topics will range from the diagnostic assessment of parkinsonisms and related disorders to the management of motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms, mood & cognition, and the choice of simple and more advanced therapeutic options, as well as new research developments and ongoing clinical trials.
Check back for more details on the next "Understanding the Disease" webinar coming in Fall 2022.
