A multidisciplinary approach to the management of Huntington's disease.
Huntington's disease is an incurable, progressive, inherited neurological disorder resulting in involuntary choreic movements, dementia and behavorial changes. The Donald J. Allen Memorial Huntington's Disease Clinic is a free-standing multidisciplinary clinic in the midwest specifically devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of HD. In its first eighteen months of operation, the clinic staff examined 38 patients. Approximately 30% of those patients did not have HD or were originally misdiagnosed.
