SYMPOSIUM

ORGANIZED

Patients with neurological disorders of the Central Nervous System (CNS)
like Parkinson's disease, CVA or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
often exhibit symptoms in their peripheral systems. These symptoms are
seen in the motor control system, the thermoregulation system, the autonomous
system regulating the bloodflow, etc. Standardized methods to measure
these symptoms can be used as diagnostic methods (whether or not to include
the patient for a certain patient category), quantifying the severity
of the disease, i.e. for monitoring the disease progress or the efficacy
of medicine, and/or for exploring the underlying disease mechanism.
