One of the main department’s focuses is the diagnostics and treatment of motor disorders. These include a number of neurological diseases, including Parkinson's disease and related clinical manifestations, such as dystonias, tremor, tics, and restless legs syndrome. The main diagnostic capabilities are electrophysiological examinations (neurography, electromyography, evoked potentials, etc.), cerebrospinal fluid examinations to exclude infectious pathology, CT and MRI scans to image changes in the brain and spinal cord, scintigraphic examinations, etc. Based on the results of the diagnostics, the patients are offered comprehensive, tailored treatment programs.

The department has long experience in the diagnostics and treatment of inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. It is an interregional reference center for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system. In addition, the offered service range also complements the special diagnostics and treatment of rare diseases of the central nervous system caused by infectious pathogens.

The service range of the department includes the diagnostics and treatment of the following diseases:

  • Motor disorders
    • Parkinson's disease
    • Dystonia

    • Botulinum toxin treatment
    • Deep brain stimulation
  • Stroke and vascular diseases
  • Neurogeriatrics
  • Neuromuscular diseases
    • Myopathies (muscular diseases)
    • Polyneuropathies
    • Neuromuscular junction diseases (myasthenic syndromes)
    • Motor neuron disorders
    • Self-help in neuromuscular diseases
  • Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system
    • Autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), neurosarcoidosis)
    • Patient training and self-help in multiple sclerosis
    • CNS diseases caused by infectious pathogens
