The Cli­nic for Neu­ro­lo­gy with Expe­ri­men­tal Neu­ro­lo­gy at the Cha­ri­té — Uni­ver­si­täts­me­di­zin Ber­lin is repre­sen­ted in Ber­lin-Mit­te, Ber­lin-Ste­glitz and Ber­lin-Wed­ding. Every year, more than 8,000 neu­ro­lo­gi­cal cases are trea­ted as inpa­ti­ents on a total of 170 beds. The neu­ro­lo­gy depart­ment in Ber­lin looks after over 20,000 out­pa­ti­ents annually.

The inten­si­ve care unit repres­ents a spe­cial area of the Cli­nic for Neu­ro­lo­gy in Ber­lin: It is ope­ra­ted in inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry coope­ra­ti­on with the Cli­nic for Neu­ro­sur­gery and the Cli­nic for Anes­the­sio­lo­gy with a focus on ope­ra­ti­ve inten­si­ve care medicine.

The neu­ro­lo­gy team offers the com­ple­te dia­gno­sis and tre­at­ment of dise­a­ses of the peri­phe­ral and cen­tral ner­vous sys­tem — inclu­ding the neu­ro­lo­gi­cal focuses:

• Stro­ke and neu­ro­vas­cu­lar diseases,
• Neu­ro­im­mu­no­lo­gy and mul­ti­ple sclerosis,
• Move­ment dis­or­ders such as Parkinson’s and tremors
• Neu­ro­pa­thies and mus­cle diseases,
• Epi­le­psy and sei­zu­re dis­or­ders as well
• Hea­da­che and facial pain.

Research

In addi­ti­on, the Depart­ment of Neu­ro­lo­gy is very acti­ve in the field of rese­arch into the ner­vous sys­tem. Here, the Ber­lin neu­ro­lo­gists work in inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry and inter­na­tio­nal working groups on a varie­ty of neu­ro­lo­gi­cal topics.

The Depart­ment of Expe­ri­men­tal Neu­ro­lo­gy car­ri­es out dise­a­se-rela­ted basic rese­arch — in clo­se coope­ra­ti­on with the Cen­ter for Stro­ke Rese­arch Ber­lin.

The neu­ro­lo­gy rese­ar­chers also inves­ti­ga­te neu­ro­lo­gi­cal dise­a­ses in joint pro­jects, e.g. the Neu­ro­Cu­re Clus­ter of Excel­lence.

The Ber­lin Cli­nic for Neu­ro­lo­gy also spe­cia­li­zes in the tre­at­ment of rare neu­ro­lo­gi­cal dise­a­ses such as

• Amyo­tro­phic Late­ral Sclerosis
• Dys­to­nia
• Myasthe­nia gra­vis and
• Ence­pha­li­tis.

The neu­ro­lo­gy depart­ment at the Cha­ri­té in Ber­lin also con­veys its diver­se pro­fi­le in aca­de­mic trai­ning and cli­ni­cal trai­ning — and thus sets stan­dards in the fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment of neurology.
