For Movement Disorders, Palliative Care Remains Challenging

Neuropalliative care is an emerging field for those with conditions such as Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, and other diseases, but access to care remains limited, according to a recent survey.

A recent global study of movement disorder specialists examining their attitudes towards and availability of palliative care found that most had a positive view of the service and wished to have more training in the topic, but respondents also noted barriers to care.

The survey was conducted in 2017 by the Palliative Care Task Force of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
