The Advanced Center for Movement Disorders & Headache at Burjeel Day Surgery Center, Al Reem Island is a dedicated neurology center focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of complex neurological conditions that affect movement, muscle control, and overall quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
Neurological disorders can significantly impact everyday activities, independence, work performance, and emotional wellbeing. Our center is designed to provide specialized, evidence-based care through advanced diagnostic evaluations, personalized treatment plans, and access to the latest therapeutic approaches, all under one roof.
Chronic Migraine & Severe Headaches
Migraines are more than just headaches. They can cause debilitating pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, visual disturbances, and significant disruption to daily life. Our center offers comprehensive headache evaluation and advanced treatment options for patients experiencing frequent or treatment-resistant migraines.
Tremor Disorders
Uncontrolled shaking of the hands, head, voice, or other body parts can interfere with daily activities. We diagnose and manage various tremor disorders, including essential tremors and Parkinsonian tremors.
Blepharospasm
Involuntary blinking or eyelid spasms that may interfere with vision and everyday activities.
Meige Syndrome
A complex movement disorder involving involuntary contractions of facial, jaw, tongue, and neck muscles, which can interfere with speaking, eating, and social interaction.
Parkinson’s Disease
A progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, coordination, and mobility. Early diagnosis and specialized management can help improve symptom control and maintain independence.
Cervical Dystonia
A movement disorder characterized by involuntary neck muscle contractions, causing abnormal head posture, neck pain, stiffness, and tremors.
Hemifacial Spasm
A neurological condition causing involuntary contractions of the muscles on one side of the face, which may worsen over time if left untreated.
Facial Twitching
Abnormal muscle movements affecting different areas of the face that may impact comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
Advanced Treatment Options
Botulinum Toxin Therapy
Botulinum toxin therapy is a clinically proven, minimally invasive treatment used to manage several neurological conditions, including:
- Chronic migraine
- Cervical dystonia
- Blepharospasm
- Hemifacial spasm
- Meige Syndrome
Administered by experienced neurological specialists, these precisely targeted injections can help reduce abnormal muscle activity, relieve pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life.
Advanced Neurological Evaluation
Every patient undergoes a comprehensive neurological assessment, which may include:
- Detailed medical and symptom history
- Neurological examination
- Diagnostic investigations when required
- Functional assessment
- Personalized treatment planning
This thorough approach helps ensure accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Pump and Infusion Therapies for Parkinson’s Disease
For patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease experiencing symptom fluctuations that are no longer adequately controlled with oral medications, pump and infusion therapies can provide a more consistent delivery of medication throughout the day. These advanced treatment options help reduce “off” periods, improve motor function, and enhance overall quality of life by maintaining more stable symptom control. Our specialists provide comprehensive assessment, treatment planning, therapy initiation, and ongoing monitoring to ensure each patient receives the most appropriate and effective management approach for their condition.
