Neurology is the medical specialty with competence in the study of the nervous system, and diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles.<\/strong><\/p>
\n
\n Neurology has been considered by some as the clinical specialty par excellence. It is one of the fields of medicine that has developed the most in recent years<\/strong>. It is a very dynamic and continuously expanding<\/strong> medical specialty due to the constant advances in the field of neurosciences<\/strong>. Considerable progress has been made in the knowledge of brain function and nervous system diseases. These advances are allowing new therapeutic alternatives, and the treatment of a large number of neurological diseases. <\/p>
\n
\n A neurologist is a physician who has additional training in diseases affecting the central nervous system and the neuromuscular system<\/strong>.<\/p>
\n
\n In Spain, the training of neurologists requires a degree in Medicine and Surgery (6 years) and then specialization in Neurology (4 years).<\/p>
\n
\n Neurologists treat disorders of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves), muscle disorders, and pain, especially headache. Neurologists have expertise in a variety of medical disorders, including cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson’s disease, headaches, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies, nervous system infections, tumors, and complications of head and spinal trauma. <\/p>
\n
\n Likewise, the neurologist also has special expertise in the assessment of language, learning, memory and behavioral disorders. In addition, an important part of neurology corresponds to disorders of brain function due to the failure of some other organ or system (heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas and endocrine glands). In many cases the study of neurological symptoms allows clarification of the underlying disease. <\/p>
\n
\n Patients presenting with nervous system disorders, muscle disorders or pain, especially headaches, are referred to the neurologist either directly or by another physician. Depending on the problem being treated, the neurologist may become the patient’s attending physician or act as a consultant to the patient’s attending physician, whether this is the patient’s general practitioner, pediatrician, internist or other specialist physician. <\/p>
\n
\n In the Neurology Service of the Ruber Internacional Hospital<\/a> we have a multidisciplinary team of neurologists specialized in different areas of the nervous system, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and a large neuro-rehabilitation team with physiotherapy, neuropsychology, speech therapy and occupational therapy specialized in neurological pathologies.<\/p>
\n
\n Our team of neurologists<\/a> is divided into Programs and Units<\/a> to respond to the needs of our patients. We have specialties in clinical neurology, epilepsy, movement disorders (with a unit specialized in functional movement disorders), sleep medicine, neuro-oncology, neuro-ophthalmology, child neurology, neuromuscular diseases, neurorehabilitation and psychiatry. <\/p>
\n
\n The Neurology Service staff, administrative and nursing staff, assist our patients and their families in the necessary procedures, facilitating at all times the organization of tests, treatments, admissions or any question that may arise. Our administrative service is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm. The human quality of our team is one of our most important values and we are proud of it. <\/p>
