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

        The department offers a full range of diagnostic options and conservative treatments for diseases of the nervous system. The department has 170 beds for patient hospitalization. An important structural section of the department is a specialized Intensive Care Unit (in interdisciplinary collaboration with the Departments of Neurosurgery and Anesthesiology with a focus on intensive surgical care). The department annually treats and diagnoses more than 8,000 inpatients and about 20,000 outpatients. Such indicators show the high quality of medical service and tremendous trust of patients. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Matthias Endres.

        The priority fields of clinical practice include the diagnostics and treatment of stroke and neurovascular pathologies, neuroimmunological disorders, multiple sclerosis, motor disorders (for example, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor), neuropathies, and muscular diseases, epilepsy, convulsions, headaches, facial pain syndromes. Thanks to active research activities and exceptional qualifications of the medical personnel, the department also treats rare and extremely complex pathologies, for example, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia, encephalitis, etc.

        The diagnostic options of the department include:
