            The doctors of the Department of Neurology provide diagnostic and therapeutic care to pati

            neurological diseases not only in the Hradec Králové region, but also for selected diagnos
            Hradec Králové and Pardubice regions. Neurology is currently one of the fastest growing fi
            both in terms of diagnosis and treatment, especially for demyelinating diseases (multiple 

            other demyelinating diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system), cerebrovascula
            neurodegenerative diseases (dementia, Parkinson's disease and other extrapyramidal disease
            disorders (epilepsy) and headaches (especially migraine). In the diagnosis and treatment o

            diseases, neurologists collaborate with a number of other disciplines (e.g. neuroradiology
            psychiatry, psychology, cardiology, oncology, rehabilitation, ...). The increasing inciden

            of neurological diseases, with, among other things, an increase in the length of survival,
            increasing demands on the provision of care for these patients. In addition to providing d
            therapeutic care and undergraduate teaching, the clinic staff also provide postgraduate te

            very active in the field of scientific research. In this area, they cooperate with a numbe
            not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad, and have won awards at the national and in
            level. In 2019-2022, for example, they have published (as lead authors or co-authors) more

            in journals with IF in the 1st and 2nd quartile. They actively participate in professional
            (including participation in their organization) and the Department of Neurology organizes 
            Sherkl Days every year.
