About the department
The Department of Neurology at the International Neuroscience Institute Hannover offers the full range of diagnostic examinations and conservative treatments for the patients suffering from diseases of the nervous system. The department mostly deals with the treatment of patients with movement disorders (for example, Parkinson's disease, tremor), multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular diseases, dystonia, chronic back pain, chronic headache, polyneuropathies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, infectious diseases of the nervous system, stroke, etc. Thanks to long clinical experience of doctors and high-tech equipment of the department, the patients can be sure to benefit from the accurate diagnostics, which determines the success of follow-up therapeutic measures. Neurologists cooperate closely with neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists, therefore, if a neurosurgical intervention or image-guided interventional procedure is required, the patient receives medical care from highly qualified specialists. The work of the department's medical team is based on an individual approach to each clinical case, due to which it achieves high treatment success rates. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Bahram Mohammadi.
When admitted to the department, the patient has an initial consultation with his attending physician who studies the patient's medical history, asks questions about complaints and symptoms. Based on the results of the consultation, the specialist elaborates a plan for further diagnostic examination to assess the neurological status and develop an effective treatment regimen. Depending on the presumptive diagnosis, the examination may include laboratory tests, lumbar puncture, functional tests, ultrasound examinations, radiography, angiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, electronystagmography, recording of evoked potentials and other diagnostic procedures. After receiving the results of the comprehensive diagnostic examination, the attending physician establishes a diagnosis and prescribes the required treatment for the patient.
The department's specialists quite often manage to cope with a neurological disorder using only drug therapy. The patients admitted to the department with a stroke usually receive thrombolytic therapy to dissolve blood clots in the cerebral vessels. In especially complex cases, mechanical recanalization with the use of endovascular devices can become an option of choice. The department's specialists have exceptional qualifications in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. To fight against these pathologies, neurologists use comprehensive treatment aimed at alleviating the symptoms and preventing the progression of the pathology. The treatment is based on the intake of an individually selected set of drugs, which can be supplemented with transcranial magnetic stimulation, physiotherapy and manual therapy.
Of particular interest is the treatment of multiple sclerosis, which is a common and severe neurological disorder. The main diagnostic tests for detecting multiple sclerosis are magnetic resonance imaging and lumbar puncture. Should the diagnosis be confirmed, the doctors will determine the clinical form of multiple sclerosis by assessing the frequency of exacerbations, the number of pathological foci and clinical signs. Multiple sclerosis is an incurable disease, and therefore pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy are aimed at eliminating symptoms, improving the patient's health and improving his quality of life.
The department also successfully treats chronic back pain. The first-line therapy is the use of painkillers and a specially selected course of physiotherapy. If such an approach does not allow the specialists to achieve the desired result, neurologists resort to injection therapy (block). Such treatment involves the use of local anesthetics (for example, lidocaine, novocaine), steroid drugs (for example, diprospan, kenalog) and others. The attending physician selects the most effective drug individually, taking into account the patient's age, the causes of the development of pain, the nature, intensity and duration of pain.

- Stroke
- Epilepsy
- Chronic back pain
- Migraines and chronic headache

Curriculum vitae
Prof. Dr. med. Bahram Mohammadi heads the Department of Neurology at the International Neuroscience Institute Hannover. The specialist received his medical education at the Hanover Medical School. In 2000, he received his doctorate. From 1999 to 2005, he underwent specialized training in Neurology in the Department of Neurology at the Hanover Medical School. In 2005, he had his board certification in Neurology, as well as specialization in Electrophysiology of Neurodegeneration in the Department of Neurology at the Hannover Medical School. From 2006 to 2010, Prof. Bahram Mohammadi worked as Senior Physician at the International Institute of Neurology Hannover, after which in 2010 he moved to the Department of Neurology at the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein, Lübeck. From 2006 to 2010, he was Fellow at the German Research Foundation (DFG) in Clinical Neurobiology. During this time, he co-founded a new Research Group on Functional Imaging in Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychology at the International Neuroscience Institute Hannover. Since 2011, Prof. Mohammadi has been heading the Department of Neurology at the International Neuroscience Institute Hannover. In 2011, he also received Extraordinary Professorship.

About hospital
The International Neuroscience Institute Hannover is an advanced highly specialized hospital that provides patients with the diagnostics of diseases of the nervous system and further required treatment. The key areas of competence of the medical facility include neurology, neurosurgery and neuroradiology. In addition, the hospital has laboratories for science experiments and clinical research. The hospital was founded in 1998 by Professor of Neurosurgery Majid Samii and over the time of its clinical activities has gained an impeccable reputation not only in Germany, but also far beyond its borders. The medical complex has unique medical equipment, which allows the specialists to treat diseases of the brain and spinal cord, spine and peripheral nerves using innovative therapeutic methods, many of which are not available in developing countries.
The presence in the hospital of such high-tech devices as a 3 Tesla MRI scanner, a 128-slice CT scanner, a 1.5 Tesla intraoperative MRI scanner, an intraoperative 32-slice CT scanner, a biplane angiography system and intraoperative neuromonitoring systems allows the doctors to accurately determine the nature of pathological changes in the nervous system, as well as reliably monitor each surgical manipulation in order to exclude damage to important functional regions of the brain and spinal cord. The hospital performs innovative stereotactic radiosurgery offered by only a few leading medical centers in the world.
The hospital is also proud of its medical staff, consisting of leading German specialists in neurosurgery, neurology, diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology, internal medicine, oncology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, orthopedics and other medical disciplines. The work of an interdisciplinary medical team allows the doctors to provide the most effective treatment, taking into account all the clinical features of a particular neurological disorder. The doctors of the medical complex always strive to establish a trusting contact with the patient, devote enough time to personal communication with their patients and always try to support them on their way to recovery. The health of the patient is the main value for the hospital's medical team, and therefore all the doctors' efforts are aimed at achieving complete recovery or long-term remission in case of incurable diseases of the nervous system.
The hospital is notable for its unusual architecture – the shape of a huge building made of glass and metal resembles a human brain. The hospital has a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. It is focused on the patients' comfort, and therefore all diagnostic and therapeutic rooms are designed in such a way that a person does not feel like he is in the hospital. The interior of the hospital is more like a modern comfortable hotel
