About the department
The Department of Pediatric Neurology at the University Hospital Jena offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment for infants, children and adolescents with diseases of the nervous system, neuromuscular pathologies, congenital metabolic disorders and psychosomatic disorders. The department offers optimal conditions for the treatment of children. Its specialists get along well with young patients, which has a beneficial effect on the therapy effectiveness. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ulrich Brandl.
The department became one of the first medical facilities of this kind, where the EEG Laboratory was founded (non-invasive examination of the brain electrical activities). This examination plays crucial role in the diagnostics of epilepsy, which is the priority of the department's clinical activities. In addition, the department is fitted out with modern equipment for electromyography, electroneurography and recording of evoked potentials. The department is certified by the German Society for Clinical Neurophysiology.
An important focus of the department’s work is the treatment of headaches in children. For this purpose, the department operates a specialized outpatient clinic, which employs the experienced doctors with additional qualifications in this field. All therapeutic interventions comply with the requirements of the German Migraine and Headache Society, as well as with those of the International Headache Society.
The service range of the department includes:
- Diagnostic options
- Electroencephalography, including long-term and video-EEG
- Electromyography
- Electroneurography
- Recording of evoked potentials
- Gait analysis within a specialized laboratory
- Ultrasound diagnostics, MRI, PET and numerous metabolic examinations (in collaboration with other departments)
- Preoperative diagnostics of epilepsy
- Diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the nervous system, including malformations and injuries of the nervous system
- Diagnostics and treatment of epilepsy, including the pathology-related mental and behavioral disorders
- Diagnostics and treatment of developmental and motor disorders
- Diagnostics and treatment of muscular diseases
- Diagnostics and treatment of metabolic disorders accompanied by neurological symptoms
- Diagnostics and treatment of psychosomatic disorders

About hospital
According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the University Hospital Jena regularly ranks among the top German medical facilities!
The hospital has positioned itself as a multidisciplinary medical facility with a long history of more than 200 years. Since its foundation, the hospital has been constantly developing and modernizing, thanks to which nowadays it offers patients the highest level of treatment in Germany based on the use of innovative technologies and the very latest therapeutic techniques. The hospital consists of 26 specialized departments and 25 research institutes. It treats more than 53,600 inpatients and about 274,000 outpatients every year. The staff of the hospital includes more than 5,600 competent doctors.
The extensive resources of the university hospital, high treatment standards, and the introduction of new research developments provide first-class treatment in Germany meeting the stringent international standards. The hospital has an excellent reputation not only in Germany, but also far beyond its borders, due to which it accepts a large number of foreign patients for the diagnostics and treatment.
Despite the technical progress and the availability of accurate computerized systems, the patient’s physical health and emotional state is the main value of each employee of the hospital, since some diagnoses cause emotional distress in patients. The doctors of the hospital believe that the key to a successful result is a comprehensive and individual approach, so they spend a lot of time talking with patients, listen carefully to all their wishes and support at all stages of the therapeutic process. All this in combination with high-precision diagnostic techniques and the very latest types of therapy forms a solid basis for the achievement of an optimal treatment result.
