Neurology hospital in Dubai, UAE

The German Neuroscience Center(GNC) is the leading Neurology hospital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At GNC, we provide comprehensive healthcare services in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.

What is neurology?Neurology is a branch of medicine that focusses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. Some of these disorders include:

• Headaches and migraines· Epilepsy· Multiple Sclerosis· Sciatica· Back Pain· Parkinson’s· Dementia and Alzheimer’s· Brain tumors· Vertigo and dizziness· Stroke· Movement disorders· Cerebrovascular diseases· Neuromuscular diseases· Neuro-inflammatory and Neuro infective conditions· Neuro-Immunological conditions

Doctors at the GNC neurology hospital in Dubai are internationally renowned and capable of offering a range of health care services as well as diagnostic options. Some of our diagnostic services include:

1. Electroencephalography (EEG)This diagnostic procedure involves placing electrodes composed of small metal discs on the scalp to measure brain activity. Generally, these electrodes detect minor electrical charges resulting from brain activity within brain cells; these are then amplified, displayed and interpreted to determine the underlying cause of neurological disorders.
2. Dementia screeningDementia screening is used to identify the early onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s when unusual obliviousness and non-specific memory disorders occur or if there is a family history of dementia.
3. Stroke risk analysisStroke risk analysis consists of two parts, ultrasound and risk calculation. In this case, ultrasound is used to examine the blood vessels and blood flow leading to the brain and in the brain itself to identify constrictions (arteriosclerotic plaques). The second part is an individualized stroke risk calculation approximating a 10-year and lifetime risk to determine the necessary treatment and lifestyle changes.
4. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV)NCV examination is used to measure the speed of conduction of electrical impulses within the nerves. During this procedure, several disc electrodes are placed on the skin, and a shock-emitting electrode is directly positioned at the top of the nerve area. Afterward, rapid electrical pulses are passed through the nerve and the muscle contraction response time is recorded for both sides of the body for comparison.
5. Electromyography (EMG)EMG examinations are used to identify the electrical activity of muscles. This examination is usually correlated with the results of a NCV examination to determine muscle weaknesses or issues with the nerves that stimulate the muscles.
6. Ultrasonography testsThese are non-invasive ultrasound procedures that are used to examine blood vessels and blood circulation. At the German Neuroscience Center, we offer the following ultrasonography tests:

• Extracranial Doppler (ECD)· Transcranial Doppler (TCD)· Duplex sonography

7. Evoked PotentialsEvoked potentials are used to examine the electrical activity within the brain in response to sound, touch, sight, or light stimulation. Typically, the external stimulation on these senses induces minor electrical signals that travel through the nerves to the brain where they are received by electrodes, amplified and displayed for interpretation. Some of the evoked potentials available at GNC include:

• Magnetic Evoked potentials (MEP)· Visually evoked potential (VEP)· Somato-sensitive evoked potentials (SSEP)· Acoustically evoked potentials (AEP)

1. Sympathetic skin responses (SSR)SSR examinations are used to detect functional impairment of sympathetic fibres in peripheral nerves from the brain to the limbs.
2. Electronystagmography (ENG)ENG tests are used to diagnose involuntary movements triggered by a condition referred to as nystagmus. ENG examinations are also used to diagnose vertigo, dizziness, and balance dysfunction.
