AGENDA & SPEAKERSCARE OF THE MOVEMENT DISORDERS PATIENT: A TEAM APPROACH
2011
Course Overview Tremor is the most common of all movement disorders, falling into three main categories: resting, action and postural tremor. The most common cause of resting tremor is Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Essential Tremor (ET), or non-physiologic tremor, has an estimated worldwide prevelence of up to 5 percent of the population. Although it often affects young individuals, the incidence of ET increases with age. ET may be associated with an increased risk for developing PD.
The incidence of PD increases rapidly in those over 60 years, with a mean age at diagnosis of 70.5 years. While the frequency of the disease is considerably higher in the over-60 age group, there is an alarming increase of patients of younger age. Considering the increased life expectancy in this country and, in Los Angeles County, in particular, an increasing number of people will be victims of PD.
Medications can be effective in managing movement disorders, including essential tremors, dystonia and PD. If medications do not work well enough, deep brain stimulation (DBS), may be an option.
DBS is currently the most frequently performed surgical procedure for the treatment of tremor, dystonia and advanced PD. DBS is non-destructive, can be performed bilaterally with low neurologic morbidity, and can be modified over time to deal with changing or progressing patient symptoms.
The purpose of this seminar is to raise awareness among general neurologists and primary care physicians of diagnostic tools for movement disorders and PD as well as evidence-based recommendations for optimal medical therapy, surgical options and rehabilitation. By promoting timely diagnosis and earlier and appropriate treatment, we hope to improve community outcomes in movement disorders and PD.
Performance Gap/Activity Statement The diagnostic approach to patients with tremor and other movement disorders involves a careful history, physical examination, and selected laboratory studies. Specific signs or symptoms contribute to the diagnosis.
Likewise, an accurate diagnosis of PD rests on the clinician’s ability to recognize its characteristic signs and associated symptoms, especially in the early stages.
Specific therapeutic goals for PD include earlier referral of PD patients for deep brain stimulation DBS before they have reached Stage 3 (postural instability), but after their medications have been maximized for tremor/rigidity, motor fluctuations, and dyskinesias. The multidisciplinary involvement of rehabilitation specialists, including physiatrists and physical therapists, plays a vital role in therapeutic goals for PD patients, and earlier referral is crucial.
Course Description/Format This will be a live, four-hour interactive event, including didactic instruction and hands-on skill sessions.
REGISTRATION Register online at www.providenceevents.org or via phone by calling the PSJMC Continuing Medical Education Department at (818) 847-3882. Registrations are due by September 16, 2011. Seating is limited. Validated parking is available in the Visitor Parking Lot off of Alameda Ave. and Buena Vista St. There is no fee to attend this conference.
CONFERENCE LOCATION Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center Bob & Dolores Hope Conference Center 501 S. Buena Vista Street Burbank, CA 91505
Targeted Learners Neurosurgeons, neurologists, internists, general/family practitioners, rehab therapists, nurses.
Learning Objectives At the end of the course/presentation, attendees will be able to:
• Recognize the signs and symptoms of PD and other movement disorders, conduct an appropriate work-up, and make the differential diagnosis.
• Treat PD and other movement disorders throughout the disease continuum according to evidence- based recommendations for medical therapy and rehabilitation.
• Explore myths and misconceptions about DBS.
• Identify patients who can benefit from DBS and refer at earlier stages.
• Interrogate or program a DBS device.
• Identify cultural diversity or disparity issues that impact the etiology and epidemiology of PD and other movement disorders or impede earlier treatment of PD and other movement disorders.
