Treatment of the entire spectrum of neurological disorders with a special focus on minimally invasive therapy, spinal surgery, pain management procedures and many other neurosurgical procedures.
Pain therapy procedures
Special pain therapy procedures can be used to treat even seemingly hopeless cases of pain. This can significantly improve quality of life.
Sclerotherapy of fibres in the autonomic nervous system
In the case of vascular pain syndromes (occlusive diseases), it is possible to achieve pain relief, improved blood circulation in the arms or legs and faster wound healing by chemically deactivating the sympathetic fibres located next to the spine.
This intervention is performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia and radiological control. The relevant nerve branches are selectively deactivated (sympathicolysis) after prior visualisation using contrast agents.
Neuromodulation for intractable pain (SCS)
Many patients suffer from pain that does not respond adequately to physiotherapy or medication. There are many reasons for this. Often, the cause can no longer be remedied, or surgery would be too invasive, too dangerous and therefore not advisable.
The nerves send signals to the brain when touched or even spontaneously, which are perceived as unpleasant sensations such as burning or knife-like stabs, even at rest (neuropathy).
This is where neuromodulation (SCS) comes in. It is a method that has been established for 30 years for the treatment of seemingly unrelievable pain. With a simple procedure, a permanent reduction in pain of more than 50% can be achieved in about 85% of patients.
We are happy to help you achieve this goal.
Implantation of drug pumps for severe pain and spasticity
If neuromodulation does not help with severe pain or if painful spasticity persists, a drug pump can be used to apply a minimal dose of medication directly to the nerves.
This allows a consistent level of effectiveness to be maintained and reduces many side effects. The pain pump is implanted under the skin and replaces the need to take medication orally.
