        About the Department of Neurology at University Hospital RWTH Aachen

        According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in the treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease! 

        The department offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as neuromuscular pathologies. The clinical practice focuses on the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's disease, dementia, ataxia), stroke treatment (including follow-up care), epilepsy, neuroimmunological and neuromuscular diseases. Many diseases are treated within the interdisciplinary centers with the participation of specialized experts in related fields. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Jörg Schulz.

        The department includes two stations for common medical care, Intensive Care Unit, Supra-Regional Stroke Unit, Comprehensive Stroke Unit, which provides early neurorehabilitation, Section of Neuropsychology, Section of Neurogeriatrics, Section of Epileptology with 8 beds for EEG monitoring, Sleep Laboratory.

        The most important structural unit in the department is the Stroke Unit, which provides effective treatment of acute stroke. The patients are monitored around the clock, so changes in their health status can be detected immediately, after which doctors take all the necessary measures. As a rule, the patient stays in the Stroke Unit from one to three days.

        The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of the following neurological diseases:

        • Ataxias (coordination impairment)
          • Hereditary cerebellar diseases
          • Friedreich's ataxia (autosomal recessive inheritance)
          • Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia
        • Diseases of the autonomic nervous system 
          • Multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body disease
          • Autonomic neuropathy, for example, in collagenosis, diabetes mellitus, amyloidosis, Fabry disease
          • Gastrointestinal disorders, neurogenic bladder disorders of unknown etiology
          • Small fiber neuropathy accompanied by neurovegetative disorders
          • Sweat regulation disorder of unknown etiology
          • Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension
          • Postural tachycardia syndrome
        • Dementias and memory problems
        • Epilepsy
        • Huntington's disease
        • Neuroimmunological disorders
          • Multiple sclerosis
          • Devic's disease
          • Infectious and granulomatous diseases of the central nervous system (neuroborreliosis, neurosarcoidosis, etc.)
          • Paraneoplastic neurologic disorders
          • Rheumatic autoimmune diseases 
          • Cerebral vasculitis
          • Autoimmune encephalopathies and synaptopathies
        • Neuromuscular diseases
        • Parkinson's disease and essential tremor
        • Sleep disorders due to neurological disorders
        • Swallowing disorders (dysphagia)
        • Speech and voice disorders
