Leading the Way for Movement Disorder Research and Treatments
Steve suffered from Parkinson’s disease for over eight years. As the disease progressed, the tremors worsened, interfering with many aspects of his day-to-day life. Unable to control the tremors through medication, Steve and his wife, Chris, researched deep brain stimulation (DBS) and turned to University Hospitals for help.
For decades, UH Neurological Institute has been on the leading edge of movement disorder treatment. Today, Andrew A. Pieper, MD, PhD, Morley-Mather Chair in Neuropsychiatry, UH Neurological Institute and Director of Neurotherapeutic Discovery, UH Harrington Discovery Institute is leading the charge, developing novel treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric conditions.
