Huntington’s Disease Treatment London
While Huntington’s Disease has no cure, Dementech Neurosciences offers expert diagnostics and a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care and treatment.
What is Huntington’s Disease?
Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder that progressively damages the brain, affecting movement, thinking, and mood. Symptoms usually appear between ages 30 and 50, though they can start earlier or later, and the condition typically shortens life expectancy.
The disease impacts primarily your nervous system, causing issues with movement and coordination, but it can also cause emotional changes and cognitive impairment.
Huntington’s is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning a person with the gene has a 50% chance of passing it to each child. Individuals without the gene cannot transmit the disease. Cases without a family history are extremely rare.
The disease cannot be cured and the progression cannot be slowed down, but symptoms can be managed with a range of treatment options aimed at improving quality of life and wellbeing.
Huntington’s Disease Patient Treatment Plans
At Dementech Neurosciences, we offer tailored treatment plans for Huntington’s disease patients. We take a multidisciplinary approach to treating the variety of symptoms of Huntington’s disease. We have an in-house speech and language therapist, occupational therapist, dietitian, psychologist and psychiatrist to help effectively manage the broad range of Huntington’s disease symptoms and complications.
We use state-of-the-art technology, such as the PKG, to monitor and treat Huntington’s disease symptoms. Neuropsychiatric and cognitive impairment may occur even during the early stages of the disease, before the development of motor symptoms.
Moreover, we offer the opportunity to participate in clinical trials testing novel pharmacological interventions before they become available to the public, aiming to delay the progression of the disease.

Huntington’s Disease Symptoms
There is a wide range of variation in the first presentation of symptoms for people carrying the HD gene, and there is a lot that’s still unknown about the way the disease progresses from the onset of early signs to the development of overt motor symptoms.
As Huntington’s disease progresses, involuntary movement, emotional changes, and memory disturbances will become more severe.
- Twitching of the fingers and toes
- Coordination difficulties; tendency to knock into things/knock things over
- Difficulty walking
- Chorea – jerky movements of the arms and legs
- Difficulties with swallowing and speech
- Difficulty in planning and organisation
- Difficulty concentrating
- Short-term memory loss
- Depression
- Mood swings, aggression and apathy
- Behavioural problems

“Dementech Neurosciences is a relatively new clinic specialising in the scientific assessment and treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. It represents a significant development in the treatment of Parkinson’s and has done a great job of establishing itself and its reputation in a short period of time. The premises are extremely well situated in central London, the consultant neurologists are all at the top of their field in their specialisation of the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, and the clinical and administrative staff are of a similar standard. The atmosphere of the clinic is positive and the results, in the short period of time I have been able to assess, have been similarly positive.”
