Neurology private outpatient clinic in Budapest

Neurology specialist outpatient clinic

Neurology, or ‘ideggyógyászat’ in Hungarian, is the medical discipline that deals with the structural and functional diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems. At the Buda Musculoskeletal Private Outpatient Clinic, we uniquely provide outpatient rehabilitation for patients who have suffered a stroke (cerebral vascular accident) in Hungary.

The uniqueness of this method lies in developing multiple abilities simultaneously. Beyond motor skills, we achieve better results by collectively supporting speech, writing, reading, memory disorders, and the psyche. After a neurological physical assessment, we conduct 8-week courses with the combined assistance of a speech therapist, neuropsychologist, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist. For further information, please contact our reception.

During the examination, we issue an outpatient report for every patient.

How do we reach a diagnosis?

• Often the anamnesis and thorough physical examination are sufficient for this, but in certain cases imaging diagnostics or even laboratory tests are necessary.
• We organize the examinations recommended by the specialist (laboratory test, X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI) for our patients and ensure the necessary examinations are conducted within 24-72 hours at our partner institutions, where the best diagnostic equipment and specialists await our patients.
• We receive the medical reports in electronic format.

What methods do we use for treatment?

• Prescription writing: prescribing medications, medical aid devices
• Physiotherapy: physiotherapy, manual therapy, massage
• Physiotherapy: ultrasound, electrotherapy, Bioptron treatment, shockwave therapy
• Surgeries: In case of indication, neurosurgery consultation, and if necessary, organization of surgeries in our partner institutions’ hospital inpatient departments based on the examining specialist’s recommendation.

What happens during a neurological examination?

With short appointment waiting times, we provide diagnosis and treatment for the following conditions, coordination of necessary follow-up examinations, and long-term professional care for the patient, potentially in cooperation with the general practitioner:

• Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, apoplexy), assessment of stroke risk, organization of supplementary examinations, care for stroke patients broken down by risk factors, planning of follow-up examinations, organization of further examinations, regular check-ups, establishment of appropriate medication specific to the cause of the disease, and lifestyle advice.
• Multiple sclerosis: diagnostics, differential diagnostics, indication of treatment appropriate to the etiology, organization of treatment, regular monitoring, and lifestyle advice.
• Vertigo: Vertigo is usually caused by a malfunction of the inner ear’s balance organ, which senses head movements. In most cases, an abnormal, rhythmic eye movement also appears with vertigo. The primary goal is to identify the cause of the vertigo. At our neurology specialist outpatient clinic, we establish a causal diagnosis and provide therapeutic recommendations after organizing diagnostic examinations.
• Gait disorders, nerve inflammations, Parkinson’s disease, various hyperkinesias, paralyses differential diagnostics, elucidation of the cause of forgetfulness, lower back and neck pain.

• Headache: Investigating the cause of headache is the task of a neurologist. A detailed assessment of the circumstances, the onset and course of symptoms, and evaluation of symptoms are performed. During the investigation, identifying the cause leads to the therapeutic goal. Headaches can be tension-type, triggered by stiffness in the neck and nape muscles. Treatment in such cases involves physiotherapy, relaxation exercises, and electrotherapy. It can also be migraine-related or due to other organic causes. Laboratory tests, cranial CT, MRI, and EMG examinations may be necessary for diagnosis.
