COVID-19: Observations On and About Patients with Parkinson and Movement Disorders

During this worldwide pandemic caused by the SARS-Cov-2 virus, there is a significant need for the movement disorders community to rapidly share information related to COVID-19 and movement disorders.  The extent of neurological effects of COVID-19 are unclear and require urgent investigation as this may have a high impact on our patients and clinical care.  MDS is seeking to develop a common repository of information on interactions of COVID-19 with movement disorders: observations both in patients with pre-existing movement disorders, and any movement disorder as a sequelae of COVID-19 infection.

If you are seeing cases that should be added to this repository, please fill out the information below and submit your case for review. Once reviewed, you will be contacted for any related supplementary video or images if accepted.  

If available, please also consider submiting data about the outcome (e.g. at 6 or 12 months). 

Thank you in advance for your submission.
