Myotonic Dystrophies: A New Specialized Clinic Is Born

A new specialized clinic dedicated to myotonic dystrophies has opened at the Policlinico di Milano.

Our “Centro Dino Ferrari” University of Milan -Ospedale Policlinico, has long been dedicated to this group of rare and debilitating conditions, characterized by muscle weakness combined with myotonia, the difficulty in relaxing muscles after contraction.

In recent years, we have intensified our efforts in developing innovative therapies, participating in numerous clinical trials. This new specialized clinic represents a major step forward in providing patients with increasingly personalized care and supporting research to make new advances.

Clinic hours: Every Thursday morning from 11:00 to 13:00, conducted by Dr. Elena Abati, a researcher at our Center and member of Prof. Meola’s team.

How to access the service:

• A referral for a “first neurological visit” from your primary care physician is required.
• Bookings through the National Health Service (SSN) using the code S75-DM.

Booking options:

• Toll-free number: 800 638 638
