Print Corticobasal degeneration care at Mayo Clinic Your Mayo Clinic care team. At Mayo Clinic, an integrated team of doctors trained in nervous system conditions (neurologists), nervous system conditions and psychological conditions (neuropsychologists), nervous system conditions and radiology (neuroradiologists), speech and language (speech-language pathologists), mental health conditions (psychiatrists), physical medicine and rehabilitation, and sleep medicine evaluates and treats corticobasal degeneration (corticobasal syndrome). Advanced diagnosis and treatment. Corticobasal degeneration can be difficult to diagnose because it has similar symptoms to many other neurological disorders. Mayo Clinic offers a wide range of diagnostic tools, including positron emission tomography (PET) scan and single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT). An efficient system. A detailed itinerary for appointments, tests and procedures lets you make the most of your time at the clinic. Mayo staff runs all tests and labs at Mayo Clinic, which means tests taken in the morning can be reviewed the same afternoon. This collaborative approach means doctors can often evaluate you and develop a treatment plan within two or three days. Individualized care. Your Mayo Clinic team will tailor a treatment plan to fit your needs, including physical, occupational and speech therapy to potentially improve your daily functioning and quality of life. You may also work with a nutrition specialist (dietitian) to manage your diet and nutrition. A plan for the future. Before you go home, your Mayo Clinic treatment team will educate you and your family about corticobasal degeneration. Your doctors will also work closely with your primary doctor in providing your follow-up care. Expertise and rankings Experience.
