Dr. Chris van der Linden
Dr. Chris van der Linden is a neurologist with specialized expertise in movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease and Tourette syndrome.
He completed part of his training in the United States, including at Harvard University and the University of Texas, and further specialized in movement disorders at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
After returning to Belgium, he served as a neurologist at Ghent University Hospital and AZ Sint-Lucas in Ghent.
His clinical interest goes beyond the treatment of individual symptoms. He examines how neurological conditions affect daily functioning and which treatment approaches can contribute to a better quality of life.
In this context, he has a particular interest in the possibilities and limitations of neuromodulation for neurological conditions.
In addition to his involvement with BRAI3N, he is a co-founder of the Center for Neurology and Orthomolecular Medicine (CNOG) in Ghent, where neurological care is combined with a focus on lifestyle and general health.
Within BRAI3N, he contributes his neurological expertise to the multidisciplinary assessment of patients, particularly those with movement disorders and other complex neurological complaints.
His core principle is that a thorough neurological assessment remains essential to determine which treatments may be effective for an individual patient.
