The department carries out diagnostics and treatment of nervous and musculoskeletal diseases.

Neurology department is staffed with qualified physicians in the main specialties:

• Neurologist
• Chiropractic
• Neurophysiologist
• Psychiatrist
• Psychologist
• Reflexologist

The department staff provides medical care upon the following diseases:

• Headaches (migraine, tension headache, etc.),
• Various pain syndromes (facial pains, myofascial, spondylogen, etc.).
• Vascular diseases of the brain,
• Spinal and musculoskeletal diseases (degenerative-dystrophic changes of the spine, dorsopathy, herniated discs, scoliosis).
• Peripheral nerve diseases (radiculopathy, tunnel syndrome, compression-ischemic neuropathy, polyneuropathy, etc.).
• Epilepsy and episyndromes.
• Extrapyramidal lesions (essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, myoclonia).
• Neuromuscular diseases (myasthenia).
• Neurovegetative diseases (orthostatic hypotension, anxiety, neurotic disorders, adaptation disorders, sleep disorders).
• Consequences of injuries of the central and peripheral nervous system (craniocerebral injuries, damage to peripheral nerves).
• Demyelinating diseases of the nervous system (multiple sclerosis).
• Neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves.

The department applies the following diagnostic methods:

• Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the widely used methods of neurophysiological diagnostics. It allows on the basis of a spatial pattern of spontaneous electrical brain activity to characterize its state and detect violations caused by both local and diffuse pathological processes. This is especially important in epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and in different periods after strokes.
• Evoked potentials (EP) is a method traditionally used to test the state of various sensory systems (visual, auditory, tactile), intensity lesion foci to obtain data on the functional structure of the nervous system. The EP method feature high sensitivity and specificity, therefore it can be used in early diagnostics of lesions of sensory systems, in expert practice.
• Electroneuromyography (ENMG) is the simplest method of assessment of the functional state of peripheral nerves, which allows to characterize motor and sensation disorders (their intensity, level), assess the effectiveness of therapy.
• Blink reflex study — the main purpose is to assess conduction systems of reflex arcs formed by intra- and extracranial parts of the trigeminus and facial nerve.
• Rhythmic stimulation is one of the methods of electromyography applied to determine the reliability of neuromuscular transmission.
• The echoencephalography (Echo EG) method is based on ultrasonography of signals from various brain structures and pathological intracranial formations. The method is non-invasive and widely used both in emergency and out-patient practice.
• Doppler ultrasound of major arteries of the head is a non-invasive and rather effective method of blood circulation study, based on recording of frequency shifts of ultrasound reflected from moving erythrocytes. This method allows to diagnose stenosis, brachiocephalic artery abnormalities.
• Rheoencephalography (REG) is a non-invasive, safe and easy method that can be used repeatedly for the long-term recording of general and regional hemodynamics of the brain in the rest and during various functional tests.
• Pain syndrome treatment is carried out by the method of blockade of trigger points.

The department has developed and successfully applies medical observation programmes for patients with  chronic cerebral ischemia against vascular atherosclerosis and arterial hypertension, the rehabilitation programme for patients with vasoneurosis, as well as the preventive treatment programme for patients with osteochondrosis of the spine.

Diagnostic programmes: 

• Check-up to determine stroke risk
