The main priority of the EMC neurology department is the diagnosis, prevention and treatment, both emergency and planned, including:

• acute cerebrovascular accidents (strokes, transient Ischemic attack), including thrombolysis;
• vertebrarium diseases: backache, herniation of intervertebral disks, osteoporosis;
• coordination distortions, vertigo;
• migraine and other headaches;
• autonomic disorders;
• neurosis , borderline personality disorders;
• sleep disturbance;
• acute and chronic demyelinising disease (including multiple sclerosis);
  
• craniocerebral trauma;
• consequences of stroke, trauma, vascular and other encephalopathy;
• epilepsy and convulsive disorders;
• and other neurologic states.

Our neurology department can make all necessary examinations with EMC Equipment:

• Computer tomography (CT);
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MR-imaging);
• Electroencephalography (EEG), EEG monitoring;
• Somnography;
• Electroneuromyography (ENMG);
• Evoked potentials (EP);
• Ultrasonic doplerography (USDG);
• Transcranial doplerography (TCDG);
• All other necessary laboratory examinations and outsourcing to other medical specialists.

Thanks to these diagnostic methods, our neurologists can detect diseases and disorders at an early stage and implement efficient prevention and treatment measures.

All procedures are done by neurologists, specializing in functional diagnostics

Any prescribed therapeutic treatment complies with international standards and is supervised by the doctor in charge.

Stroker

Stroke mortality in Russia is much higher then in Europe and America. The main reason for it is that even in Moscow it is not possible to undertake necessary examinations and thrombolysis within three hours of the beginning of symptoms. This important factor influences stroke outcome and complexity of residual neurological deficits. 24 hours, 7 days a week, the multidisciplinary EMC team enables patients transport and brain examination, including computer tomography and MR-imaging in accordance with international standards, as well as thrombolysis and neurosurgical intervention.

Thrombolysis (thrombolytic therapy) is used while treating such diseases as stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, peripheral arterial blockage or shunting.

The symptoms of these diseases may include:

• Chest pain;
• Numbness or tingling in different parts of the body;
• Visual impairment;
• Speech impairment;
• Sudden weakness;
• Podedemas;
• Aches, cold feeling and numbness of extremities.

Depending on the situation, EMC doctors undertake emergency and planned thrombosis. Emergency thrombolysis is done in the event of stroke or infarction within the first three hours. Planned thrombolysis is done in the event of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities.

In the event of thrombolysis within the first three hours after heart attack, it is possible to prevent myocardial necrosis, the most dangerous consequence of infarction. Thrombolysis triggers regenerative process in damaged, but live tissues. In this case, there is a high probability of recovery without myocardial scars.

Back pain

One of the main directions for EMC neurologists is the treatment of vertebral diseases and backache. We use western practices and methodologies, including kinetotherapy, manual therapy, along with appropriate pain relief, and if necessary neurosurgical intervention and epidural glucocorticoid injections that enable fast pain relief and maximum functions recovery. In order to achieve these aims, the patients are treated by several specialists: neurologists, neurosurgeons, anaesthetists, orthopaedists, recreation therapists, kinesitherapeuts, physical therapists, manual therapists and masseurs.

Headaches

Headaches can be of various origin and it can itself be a symptom of another disease. The clinical experience of the medical staff together with the latest diagnostic equipment enables fast determination of the cause of headache and selection of the correct treatment method . We use only treatment methodology with proved safety and efficiency records in western medicine.

Sleep disorders

Sometimes our nervous system does not manage to cope with its load. This can lead to a reduction in ability to work or disability. The latest medicines and drug-free methods enable patients to get control back and situation and working persons can avoid significant losses for . We only use treatment methodology with proved safety and efficiency records in western medicine.

Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects young people and causes disability. Timely diagnosis makes intervention possible in this process. So, relevant drugs can eliminate multiple sclerosis development after optic neuritis or acute demyelinating encephalitis. Western treatment methods help reduce the number of disease attacks and increase the quality of life.
