Germany is a world leader in neurosurgery and neurology. The country is home to five deep brain stimulation (DBS) centers and utilizes intraoperative MRI scanners, robotic neuronavigation systems, and proton therapy for CNS tumors.
German neurology offers personalized diagnostics and treatment protocols for stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and brain tumors. Access to the latest biologic medications is guaranteed.
There are 14 university neurology centers, 4 DBS centers, and 5 Category I stroke units (according to the DGN) operating in the country. The “door-to-needle” time for ischemic stroke is 22 minutes, the best in Europe.
German clinics use all modern approaches, from classical to the latest personalized approaches.
Endovascular clot removal with a treatment window of up to 24 hours. German Stroke Net protocol.
Electrode implantation for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia.
Brain surgery with intraoperative MRI for precise tumor removal.
Robotic catheter navigation for removing brain tumors and AVMs.
Tumors of the brainstem, pituitary gland, and optic nerve — without damaging surrounding tissue.
Biologics such as Ocrevus and Kesimpta, autologous stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Mapping of the epileptogenic zone followed by minimally invasive removal.
Lokomat robots, neuroplasticity-based therapy, BCI (brain-computer interface).
We organize treatment for all cases. The following are frequent referrals from our patients.
The standard patient pathway is from initial request to return home and long-term follow-up.
MRI, CT, EEG, and videos go to the professor. Assessment within 3–5 days.
Additional tests: 3T MRI, PET, stereo-EEG if needed.
Neurosurgeon, neuro-oncologist, neuropsychologist, physiotherapist.
iMRI neurosurgery, DBS, thrombectomy — as planned.
Lokomat, occupational and speech therapy as part of your hospital stay.
Online consultations with your German neurologist.
Real patients who have been treated through Sofortmed
«Herniated disc at L4-L5; the leg pain had not let up for 6 months. Sofortmed booked me into Helios Emil von Behring. The neurosurgeon proposed minimally invasive endoscopic surgery instead of an open procedure. On the second day after the operation I was back on my feet. The whole process took 10 days. This account is based on typical cases. Names and details have been changed.»
