Dr. Huang Ming-tsung

Dr. Huang Ming-tsung is a neurologist at Taipei Veterans General Hospital (TVGH) — one of Taiwan's largest and most distinguished medical centres, affiliated with National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. With 20 years of neurology experience, he is a leading specialist in movement disorders and stroke, managing a high-volume practice at one of Taiwan's busiest neurology departments.

Dr. Huang completed his MD and PhD at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University before undertaking a movement disorders fellowship at a leading European centre. He returned to TVGH to build the hospital's movement disorders program, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) candidacy assessment and post-operative programming for Parkinson's disease patients.

Taiwan's rapidly ageing population has driven a substantial increase in Parkinson's disease and other age-related neurological conditions, and Dr. Huang's subspecialty positions him at the forefront of this growing clinical need. His stroke practice manages acute ischaemic stroke including thrombolysis administration and secondary prevention.

Dr. Huang earned his MD and PhD from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University College of Medicine — one of Taiwan's foremost medical research institutions. He completed his neurology residency and specialist fellowship at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, developing expertise in acute neurology and movement disorders. He subsequently undertook a prestigious movement disorders fellowship at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Grenoble (CHU Grenoble), France — recognized worldwide as a pioneering centre for deep brain stimulation research and Parkinson's disease management. This fellowship provided advanced training in DBS candidacy assessment, multi-disciplinary evaluation of advanced Parkinson's disease, and dystonia management. He is board-certified in Neurology by the Taiwan Neurological Society and maintains active membership in the Movement Disorder Society and World Stroke Organization.

Dr. Huang's primary subspecialty is movement disorders, encompassing Parkinson's disease (including motor and non-motor symptom management), essential tremor, dystonia, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy. He performs botulinum toxin injections for dystonia and tremor, and conducts DBS candidacy assessments.

In stroke, he manages acute ischaemic stroke including IV thrombolysis, TIA evaluation, and secondary prevention planning. General neurology covers epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, headache, and multiple sclerosis.

Dr. Huang has published over 75 papers in journals including Movement Disorders, Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, and Stroke. His research focuses on Parkinson's disease biomarkers in Asian populations, DBS outcomes in Taiwanese patients, and stroke incidence and outcomes in Taiwan's ageing population. He serves on the Taiwan Neurological Society's guidelines committee for movement disorders.

Dr. Huang sees international patients at TVGH's international patient centre, which provides dedicated multilingual coordination, appointment scheduling, and medical record management services for overseas visitors. He consults in Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English. International patients with Parkinson's disease or other movement disorders — particularly those seeking second opinions on DBS candidacy or access to Taiwan's established DBS programs — are especially well-served by his practice. TVGH is one of Asia's leading centres for deep brain stimulation, offering state-of-the-art programming and follow-up. International patients benefit from competitive private costs well below equivalent care in Japan, Singapore, or Western countries. Video consultations are available for remote neurological second opinions and Parkinson's disease case reviews prior to travel.

Dr. Huang received the Taiwan Neurological Society's Young Investigator Award for his early-career research contributions to movement disorder genetics and DBS outcomes in Taiwanese patients. He was also honoured with TVGH's Distinguished Clinical Achievement Award for excellence in building the hospital's movement disorders programme. Dr. Huang serves on the Movement Disorder Society's Asia Pacific Chapter Committee, contributing to continuing medical education and guideline development for Parkinson's disease management in the region. He has been an invited faculty member at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders and serves as a peer reviewer for Parkinsonism & Related Disorders and Movement Disorders journals.
