Treatment of neurological, psychiatric and psychological diseases

EEG (Electroencephalography)
Neurological Treatment
EEG (Electroencephalography)
If you're experiencing seizures, epilepsy, or other neurological conditions, you may need an EEG (Electroencephalography) test to help diagnose the problem. EEG is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. It's a safe and painless procedure that can provide valuable information about the functioning of your brain.
What is an EEG (Electroencephalography)
The EEG (Electroencephalography) is a diagnostic method designed for the measuring of brain activity. Variations of voltage are deduced from the brain thus allowing inferences to the neurotransmission of the brain. The measurements are taken off of the surface of the patient’s head by way of electrode pads. The obtained waves are reproduced in a diagram.  
The EEG (Electroencephalography) is needed for example to diagnose epilepsy (seizure disorder), encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), tumours of the brain, but also in case of headaches of all kinds, such as migraine, or unexplained vision disorders, imbalance etc.
Knowing from long years of experience that neurological or psychiatric illnesses are very often considered to be better not mentioned or talked about, we would nonetheless like to introduce you briefly to the world of neurology and psychiatry. There are no other medical sciences that have achieved more progress and improvement over the past decades than these. Especially the “Decade of the brain” led to a definite change for the better in diagnostics and therapies. Today we can offer a wide range of modern diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities for nearly all psychiatric and neurological disorders. Yet, when it comes to neurological deficits or mental illness there are still many prejudices and unnecessary fears prevalent.
Whereas usually everybody accepts the fact that illness is normal and happens to everyone from time to time, normal illnesses are most often considered to be solely physical such as a broken leg, colds, diarrhea or similar. Diabetes mellitus is as normal an illness as is backache or headache.
Illnesses of the brain, the psyche or neurological deficiencies are also as normal as any other illnesses and moreover, they are not only very common but on the increase. Their patterns may sometimes be worrying or frightening but this is largely due to a huge lack of information in general public.
According to the study “The Global Burden of disease” carried out by the WHO (World Health Organization) depression for instance is the most important disease of all, more important even than diseases of the heart, asthma or cancer. And yet, the majority of people suffering from depression do not seek professional help or are not treated sufficiently. We should therefore not only like to contribute to health education but we offer practical help and assistance to everyone suffering from or fearing psychiatric and/or neurological disorders.

Leading Neurofeedback Center
Neurological Treatment
Leading Neurofeedback Center
Neurofeedback - also called EEG-Biofeedback - is a scientifically proven brain training to improve certain functions of the brain. Patients learn to change their brain waves to enhance certain skills, such as concentration, memory, top performance, creativity, relaxation, etc. Since more than 15 years the German Neuroscience Center is the leading clinic for Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychology in the UAE. We are offering the highest quality Neurofeedback treatment with the leading Neurofeedback experts in the region.
Which Disorders Are Treated With Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a painless and non-invasive procedure that has been used for a variety of diseases for over 30 years.

ADHD, ADD - Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorders (Evidence base level 5)

Epilepsy (Evidence base level 5)

Learning disabilities

Autism and Asperger Syndrome

Depression

Anxiety and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, sleep disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndromes, migraines, autism, dementia, tic disorders as Tourette Syndrome, Parkinson Disease, Lyme disease and can be treated as well.
Neurofeedback is a new treatment option for the above-mentioned disorders to achieve rapid and permanent changes in the areas of cognition, behavioral problems, affective regulation, and social adaptation and function.
What Does A Neurofeedback Session Look Like?
The patient is sitting relaxed in front of a screen. The activity of the brain waves is recorded by means of sensors (EEG recording) and displayed graphically by a computer program. The patient is given various tasks in order to change the brain waves. The brain receives information about its activity and learns to optimize it by means of feedback that is perceived via images, videos, sound etc.
How Does Neurofeedback Work?
The patient's brain waves are recorded using an EEG. A special computer program divides the brain waves into frequency ranges and analysis them. Depending on the clinical picture, certain pathological patterns of brain activity are recognized, and the patient is given appropriate feedback. There are many different forms of feedback such as films, tones, games, etc. The patient should learn to encourage certain activities or suppress others. The patient uses this to train his brain until the desired pattern occurs and the symptoms are improved.
The feedback is based on the principle of so-called operant conditioning. This means: The feedback given to the patient is a reward if the patient succeeds in activating certain areas of the brain in such a way that they generate the desired brain activity. Our brain wants to be rewarded as often as possible. It tries to permanently recognize and understand the patterns hidden in the feedback in order to receive a reward as often as possible. This process happens completely unconsciously, without active intervention by the patient and without medication.
What Are Brain Waves?
In a raw EEG brain activity is divided by frequencies: GAMMA greater than 30(Hz) BETA (13-30Hz), ALPHA (8-12 Hz), THETA (4-8 Hz), and DELTA (less than 4 Hz). Faster waves are needed to complete a complex task, slower waves are seen when relaxing or sleeping. However, brain waves always appear as a mix. Imbalances can cause disorders such as being nervous or anxious when too many fast waves are seen in the EEG.
WHAT IS AN EEG (Electroencephalogram) / QEEG (Quantitative EEG, Brain mapping)?
An EEG is a scientific method for recording brain waves as described above. The brain waves are reordered via surface electrodes placed on the scalp. The locations of the electrodes are defined by the 10-20 system. The graphic visualization over time is called a raw EEG. It is the standard way to see multipole brain pathologies including seizures / epilepsy.
In a quantitative EEG the analysis process is extended by selecting and editing the best episodes of the raw EEG and comparing them to a database.
It is best practice to perform a qEEG before starting the actual Neurofeedback training. The qEEG visualizes the activity of the brain in different locations. These findings are matched with the client complaints (EEG biomarker match, QEEG Pro). Apart from reviewing the raw EEG data, the raw data – according to age, gender and handedness is getting compared to a normative database (Neuroguide, Dr. B. Thatcher - FDA approved database of adults and children). This scientific method produces comprehensive information about the distribution of brain activity, like a prism breaking light up into its constituent spectral colors. This is called a bitmap. Moreover, a LORETA will be performed (Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomographic analysis) which produces 3 dimensional images to find functional abnormalities in the deeper structures of the brain - similar to functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) of the brain. On top of this, a clinical Q analysis (Dr. Paul Swingel) will be performed to compare amplitudes and ratios of brain activity.
What Does Neurofeedback Feel Like?
You will feel an electro cap on your head, soft as you wear a bathing cap when going swimming. You sit in a comfortable chair which is adjusted towards your needs, to ensure that you feel comfortable and relaxed. The electro cap is connected to an amplifier that forwards the recorded signals to a computer who translates them. You will look onto a second monitor where your translated brainwaves will drive a game or a movie in real-time. Now the subconscious learning process starts as your brain figures out fast what it has to do to score in a game or to drive the movie (operant conditioning). Soon you will feel the difference as well, as brain fog disappears, you feel more concentrated, maybe as well a bit happier as when you came. You will see that your abilities either in competing or speed are increasing. The medical professional will sit direct next to you guaranteeing that the whole training starting from recoding sites of your head, collection of data, translation and rewarding of desirable brain activity is done at the highest professional standard. There is absolutely nothing to be concerned about or worried about.
Is Neurofeedback Effective And Scientifically Proven?
Neurofeedback is efficient for most clients with perceptible results. Neurofeedback training is a learning process; therefore, results are seen gradually over time. In about ten sessions you will already feel an improvement of your complaints. Most patients meet their treatment goals in 20 sessions, depending on their condition. Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes, which includes the hook-up, training homework assignments and discussion of session-to-session progress.
Neurofeedback is FDA approved, and meets the highest criteria for evidence-based neurofeedback practice. It has been cross validated by both PET and MRI, is used by Universities, Medical Centers, the US military, Research Institutes, etc. The hardware and software used for Neurofeedback in our Medical Center was designed and developed by one of the world leaders in brain research and neurofeedback.
Is Neurofeedback Safe?
Neurofeedback is non-invasive and painless. No medication is administered. Therefore, Neurofeedback is known to be very safe. No severe side effects are reported in over 30 years of application. Neurofeedback is FDA approved for safety and efficiency.
Can Children Do Neurofeedback?
Yes, Neurofeedback is safe and efficient for kids from 6 years onwards. Moreover, adolescents and adults of all age groups are treated with Neurofeedback.
How Many Neurofeedback Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on the severity of symptoms and disorder. Each patient receives a customized treatment plan based on the individual case. As a first step, the patient will be thoroughly examined including a comprehensive anamnesis incl. present and past medical history, family history, current medication, physical and psychopathological examination. In a next step a qEEG will be performed. Based on the findings the treatment plan will we discussed with the patient. Usually the brain needs 20-40 training sessions to learn the new pattern> Depending on the performance of the individual it can me less or more sessions.

Additionally, they can help patients and their families plan for the future and make informed decisions about their care.This examination is used for the early detection of dementia processes when non-specific memory disorders occur, or unusual obliviousness or if there is a family history of dementia. “Am I only forgetting things or do I already suffer from Alzheimer’s disease?” “Some members of my family are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. How likely is it that I will also get this disease?” Questions such as these are often asked and can be discussed when carrying out the dementia screening. At best baseless fears will be remedied, at worst early steps can be taken (e.g. training the cognitive functions of the brain) or medical intervention to avoid or to allay any vascular dementia processes. Even with Alzheimer’s disease there is a range of possibilities to slow down the process.Since more than 10 years GNC is the leading clinic for Neurology in Dubai, with the best Psychiatrists in Dubai, Psychologists in Dubai, and psychotherapy in Dubai, UAE.

Stroke Risk analysis
Neurological Treatment
Stroke Risk analysis
Stroke Risk Analysis (cardiovascular risk analysis)
One person is believed to suffer a stroke every hour in the UAE with 8,000 patients admitted to hospital because of the condition. As the incidence of stroke continues to grow it places a significant burden on the healthcare system. Worldwide stroke is the second leading cause of death for people above the age of 60; however, in the UAE, stroke patients are around 20 years younger than the worldwide average.
The checkup consists of 2 parts:
Ultrasound
Ultrasound to examine the blood vessels and the blood flow leading to the brain and in the brain itself. With this exploration the physician is able to determine arteriosclerotic plaques or constrictions. Thus making it possible to check on the blood supply of the brain and prevent bursting of the plaques by medical or surgical intervention to avoid stroke or other blood vessel based deterioration. IMT (INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS) means the Duplex sonographical picturing of the thickness of the arterial vascular wall, especially the inner layer (Intima), and rating the thickness of the intima media (INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS). IMT allows a very early determination of a generalized arteriosclerosis which may lead to ischaemic attacks or even stroke or heart infarction. This method is able to supply important information for the early diagnosis of an increased risk of stroke or heart failure.
Risk calculation
Risk calculation based on the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk. Stroke specialists will carry out an individual stroke risk calculation estimating the ten-year risk and lifetime risk of having a stroke. The following laboratory results (Total Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol) are necessary for the calculation. Either you bring them with you or we will do the test in the clinic.
Based on the results the physician will discuss any specific treatment or lifestyle changes that may be necessary. Major lifestyle issues that can lead to stroke include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and obesity. Link
Prof. Dr. med D. Claus said, "’stroke is a huge health concern across the globe and here in the UAE we see a greater number of cases linked to the already high incidence of obesity and cardiovascular disease, as well as lifestyle factors including poor diet and lack of exercise. The test is a quick and painless way of establishing risk and allowing us to determine a suitable action plan. ‘What most people don’t realize is that as many as 70% of strokes could be avoided by preventative measures."’
70% of strokes could be avoided by preventative measures
We recently welcomed Professor Dr. med Ringelstein to our neurology team. Prof. Ringelstein is a Board Member of the German Stroke Society and was part of the accreditation team for the dedicated stroke unit at Rashid Hospital, the only unit outside the EU to be awarded an international accreditation.
NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity)
Neurological Treatment
NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity)
Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is a diagnostic test that measures the speed at which electrical impulses travel through nerves in the body. The test is used to evaluate the function of the peripheral nervous system, which includes the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.The Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test involves placing electrodes on the skin over the nerves being tested. A small electrical current is then applied to the nerve, and the resulting electrical activity is recorded by the electrodes. The time it takes for the electrical impulse to travel between the electrodes is measured, and this measurement is used to calculate the nerve conduction velocity.The Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test can provide valuable diagnostic information for a range of neurological conditions, including peripheral neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome, and radiculopathies. The test can help to identify the location and extent of nerve damage, as well as to monitor the progression of these conditions over time.In addition to clinical applications, NCV testing is also used in research to study the function of the peripheral nervous system and its responses to injury or disease. Researchers have used NCV testing to investigate the effects of various medications and substances on nerve function, as well as to study the plasticity of the nervous system in response to injury or rehabilitation.The Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test has several advantages over other methods of assessing nerve function, such as electromyography (EMG). It is non-invasive, quick, and easy to perform, and does not require the patient to actively participate or provide feedback. The NCV test is also highly sensitive to changes in nerve function, which makes it a valuable tool for detecting subtle abnormalities in the peripheral nervous system.However, there are some limitations to the NCV test that should be considered. The test can be affected by factors such as age, gender, and the presence of other medical conditions, which can lead to variability in results. Additionally, the test may not be suitable for patients with certain neurological conditions, such as peripheral neuropathies caused by immune system dysfunction, which may require additional testing.Overall, the Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is a valuable tool for assessing nerve function in a variety of clinical and research settings. Its non-invasive nature and sensitivity to changes in nerve function make it a valuable complement to other methods of evaluating nerve function, and a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring a range of neurological conditions.

AEP (Acoustically Evoked Potentials)
Neurological Treatment
AEP (Acoustically Evoked Potentials)
Acoustically Evoked Potentials (AEPs) are a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity generated by the brain in response to auditory stimuli. AEP testing is commonly used to evaluate the auditory pathways in patients with neurological or auditory disorders, as well as to assess the auditory function in infants and young children who may not be able to communicate their hearing experience.The Acoustically Evoked Potentials (AEPs) test involves placing electrodes on the scalp of the patient, typically over the temporal cortex, which is the part of the brain responsible for processing auditory information. The patient is then presented with auditory stimuli, such as clicks or tones, while the electrodes record the electrical activity generated by the brain in response to the stimuli.The Acoustically Evoked Potentials (AEPs) test can provide valuable diagnostic information for a range of auditory and neurological conditions, including hearing loss, auditory processing disorders, and multiple sclerosis. The test can also be used to monitor the progression of these conditions over time, and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment interventions.In addition to clinical applications, AEP testing is also used in research to study the auditory system and its functions. Researchers have used AEPs to study auditory perception, attention, and memory, as well as to investigate the effects of various medications and substances on the auditory system.The AEP test has several advantages over other methods of assessing auditory function, such as pure-tone audiometry or speech audiometry. It is non-invasive, quick, and easy to perform, and does not require the patient to actively participate or provide verbal feedback. The AEP test is also highly sensitive to changes in auditory function, which makes it a valuable tool for detecting subtle abnormalities in the auditory system.However, there are some limitations to the AEP test that should be considered. The test can be affected by factors such as age, gender, and the presence of other medical conditions, which can lead to variability in results. Additionally, the test may not be suitable for patients with certain neurological conditions, such as epilepsy, due to the risk of inducing seizures.Overall, the Acoustically Evoked Potentials (AEPs) test is a valuable tool for assessing auditory function in a variety of clinical and research settings. Its non-invasive nature and sensitivity to changes in auditory function make it a valuable complement to other methods of evaluating auditory function, and a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring a range of auditory and neurological conditions.

The VEP test is commonly used to evaluate the visual pathways in patients with neurological or ophthalmological disorders, as well as to assess the visual function in infants and young children who may not be able to communicate their visual experience.The Visually Evoked Potentials (VEPs) test involves placing electrodes on the scalp of the patient, typically over the occipital cortex, which is the part of the brain responsible for processing visual information. The patient is then presented with visual stimuli, such as flashing lights or patterned images, while the electrodes record the electrical activity generated by the brain in response to the stimuli.The Visually Evoked Potentials (VEPs) test can provide valuable diagnostic information for a range of neurological and ophthalmological conditions, including optic neuritis, amblyopia, multiple sclerosis, and glaucoma. The test can also be used to monitor the progression of these conditions over time, and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment interventions.In addition to clinical applications, VEP testing is also used in research to study the visual system and its functions. Researchers have used VEPs to study visual perception, attention, and memory, as well as to investigate the effects of various medications and substances on the visual system.The VEP test has several advantages over other methods of assessing visual function, such as visual acuity tests or color vision tests. It is non-invasive, quick, and easy to perform, and does not require the patient to actively participate or provide verbal feedback. The VEP test is also highly sensitive to changes in visual function, which makes it a valuable tool for detecting subtle abnormalities in the visual system.However, there are some limitations to the VEP test that should be considered. The test can be affected by factors such as age, gender, and the presence of other medical conditions, which can lead to variability in results. Additionally, the test may not be suitable for patients with certain neurological conditions, such as epilepsy, due to the risk of inducing seizures.Overall, the Visually Evoked Potentials (VEPs) test is a valuable tool for assessing visual function in a variety of clinical and research settings. Its non-invasive nature and sensitivity to changes in visual function make it a valuable complement to other methods of evaluating visual function, and a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring a range of neurological and ophthalmological conditions.
MEP (Magnetic-Evoked Potentials)
Neurological Treatment
MEP (Magnetic-Evoked Potentials)
Magnetic-evoked potentials (MEPs) are a type of neurophysiological test that is used to evaluate the function of the central nervous system. MEPs use a magnetic stimulator to deliver a brief, high-intensity magnetic pulse to a specific area of the brain or spinal cord. The resulting electrical activity is then recorded from electrodes placed on the scalp or muscles, providing information about the integrity and function of the motor pathways.MEPs are commonly used in both clinical and research settings to assess a range of neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injury, and neuromuscular disorders. MEPs can help to identify areas of the brain or spinal cord that are affected by disease or injury, as well as monitor changes in function over time.The magnetic stimulator used in MEP testing is similar to that used in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is a technique that can be used to non-invasively stimulate the brain. However, while TMS is typically used to induce changes in brain activity that can be measured using techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), MEPs are focused specifically on the motor system.During MEP testing, the magnetic pulse is typically delivered over the motor cortex, which is the part of the brain that controls voluntary movement. The resulting electrical activity is then recorded using surface electrodes placed on the scalp or muscles. The amplitude and latency of the resulting response can provide information about the integrity of the motor pathways, as well as the excitability of the neurons involved.MEPs can be used to assess a range of motor functions, including muscle strength, reaction time, and coordination. They can also be used to monitor changes in function over time, making them a useful tool for tracking disease progression and treatment outcomes.In addition to their clinical applications, MEPs are also widely used in neuroscience research. MEPs can be used to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying motor learning and plasticity, as well as to study the effects of drugs and other interventions on the motor system.Overall, magnetic-evoked potentials are a valuable tool for assessing the function of the motor system in both clinical and research settings. By providing a non-invasive way to stimulate and measure neural activity, MEPs can help to identify areas of dysfunction and monitor changes in function over time. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that MEP testing will become even more widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs)
Neurological Treatment
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs)
Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) are a type of diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity generated by the brain in response to somatosensory stimuli, such as touch, pressure, or vibration. SSEP testing is commonly used to evaluate the function of the sensory pathways in patients with neurological disorders, as well as to assess the extent of spinal cord injuries.The Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) test involves placing electrodes on the scalp and/or limbs of the patient, which record the electrical activity generated by the brain in response to somatosensory stimuli. The patient is typically presented with a series of stimuli, such as electrical impulses applied to the skin or a vibrating tuning fork, while the electrodes record the electrical signals generated by the brain in response to the stimuli.The Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) test can provide valuable diagnostic information for a range of neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and stroke. The test can help to identify the extent and location of neurological damage, as well as to monitor the progression of these conditions over time.In addition to clinical applications, SSEP testing is also used in research to study the somatosensory system and its functions. Researchers have used SSEPs to investigate the effects of various medications and substances on the somatosensory system, as well as to study the plasticity of the somatosensory pathways in response to injury or rehabilitation.The Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) test has several advantages over other methods of assessing somatosensory function, such as clinical examination or nerve conduction studies. It is non-invasive, quick, and easy to perform, and does not require the patient to actively participate or provide verbal feedback. The SSEP test is also highly sensitive to changes in somatosensory function, which makes it a valuable tool for detecting subtle abnormalities in the somatosensory system.However, there are some limitations to the SSEP test that should be considered. The test can be affected by factors such as age, gender, and the presence of other medical conditions, which can lead to variability in results. Additionally, the test may not be suitable for patients with certain neurological conditions, such as epilepsy, due to the risk of inducing seizures.Overall, the Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) test is a valuable tool for assessing somatosensory function in a variety of clinical and research settings. Its non-invasive nature and sensitivity to changes in somatosensory function make it a valuable complement to other methods of evaluating somatosensory function, and a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring a range of neurological conditions.
SSR (Sympathetic Skin Response)
Neurological Treatment
SSR (Sympathetic Skin Response)
Sympathetic Skin Response (SSR) is a physiological measurement used to assess the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "fight or flight" response in the body. The SSR is a non-invasive measurement that involves recording the electrical activity of sweat glands in the skin, which are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.The SSR measurement is typically performed using electrodes placed on the skin of the hand or foot, which are connected to a recording device. The patient is then exposed to a stimulus, such as a loud noise or a sudden movement, which causes an involuntary response from the sympathetic nervous system. This response is detected by the electrodes as a change in the electrical activity of the sweat glands, and is recorded as an SSR.The SSR measurement is used in a variety of clinical settings, including neurology, psychiatry, and pain management. It is commonly used to evaluate autonomic function in patients with conditions such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries. SSR measurements can also be used to evaluate the effects of medications on the sympathetic nervous system, such as antidepressants and antipsychotics.In addition to clinical applications, SSR measurements are also used in research to study the sympathetic nervous system and its role in various physiological and psychological processes. For example, researchers have used SSR measurements to study the effects of stress on the sympathetic nervous system, as well as the role of the sympathetic nervous system in chronic pain conditions.The SSR measurement has several advantages over other methods of assessing sympathetic nervous system activity, such as heart rate variability or blood pressure measurements. It is non-invasive, quick, and easy to perform, and does not require any special equipment. The SSR measurement is also highly sensitive to changes in sympathetic nervous system activity, which makes it a valuable tool for detecting subtle changes in autonomic function.However, there are some limitations to the SSR measurement that should be considered. The SSR response can be affected by factors such as skin temperature, humidity, and electrode placement, which can lead to variability in results. Additionally, some medications, such as anticholinergics and beta blockers, can affect the SSR response and may need to be temporarily discontinued before the measurement is taken.Overall, the SSR measurement is a valuable tool for assessing sympathetic nervous system activity in a variety of clinical and research settings. Its non-invasive nature and sensitivity to changes in autonomic function make it a valuable complement to other methods of evaluating sympathetic nervous system activity.
ENG (Electronystagmography)
Neurological Treatment
ENG (Electronystagmography)
Electronystagmography (ENG) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of the muscles that control eye movement, as well as the movements of the eyes themselves. ENG testing is commonly used to evaluate the function of the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation.The ENG test involves placing electrodes around the eyes to record the electrical activity of the muscles that control eye movement. The patient is then asked to follow a moving object or to perform various head and body movements while the electrodes record the electrical signals generated by the muscles. The movements of the eyes are also recorded using a video camera, which allows the examiner to evaluate the coordination and accuracy of the eye movements.Electronystagmography (ENG) testing can provide valuable diagnostic information for a range of conditions that affect the vestibular system, including vertigo, dizziness, and balance disorders. The test can help to identify the underlying cause of these symptoms, such as inner ear disorders, vestibular nerve damage, or central nervous system disorders.In addition to clinical applications, ENG testing is also used in research to study the vestibular system and its functions. Researchers have used ENG to investigate the effects of various medications and substances on the vestibular system, as well as to study the effects of aging on vestibular function.The Electronystagmography (ENG) test has several advantages over other methods of assessing vestibular function, such as caloric testing or rotational testing. It is non-invasive, quick, and easy to perform, and does not require the patient to actively participate or provide verbal feedback. The ENG test is also highly sensitive to changes in vestibular function, which makes it a valuable tool for detecting subtle abnormalities in the vestibular system.However, there are some limitations to the ENG test that should be considered. The test may not be suitable for patients with certain medical conditions, such as severe eye disorders or pacemakers, due to the risk of complications. Additionally, the test can be affected by factors such as medication use or recent alcohol consumption, which can lead to variability in results.Overall, the Electronystagmography (ENG) test is a valuable tool for evaluating vestibular function in a variety of clinical and research settings. Its non-invasive nature and sensitivity to changes in vestibular function make it a valuable complement to other methods of assessing vestibular function, and a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring a range of vestibular disorders.
Laboratory diagnostics
Neurological Treatment
Laboratory diagnostics
Outpatient neurological clinics and laboratories often work together to provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for patients with neurological conditions. The clinic may refer patients to the laboratory for testing, and the laboratory may provide diagnostic information to the clinic to help guide treatment.Neurological clinics provide a range of services to patients with neurological conditions, such as stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Clinics may offer diagnostic testing, such as electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies, electroencephalography (EEG), and imaging tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans. They may also provide treatment services, such as medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.Laboratories, on the other hand, specialize in analyzing specimens, such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue samples. Neurological laboratories may perform a variety of tests, including genetic testing, immunological assays, and biomarker analysis, to help diagnose and monitor neurological conditions. Laboratory tests can provide important information about a patient's condition, such as the presence of inflammation or abnormal proteins, which can help guide treatment decisions.
The relationship between an outpatient neurological clinic and laboratory may involve several key steps:
1. Referral: A patient may be referred to a laboratory for diagnostic testing by their neurologist or other healthcare provider at the clinic.
2. Testing: The laboratory will perform the necessary tests and provide diagnostic information to the clinic, which can help guide treatment decisions.
3. Treatment: Based on the diagnostic information provided by the laboratory, the clinic may develop a treatment plan for the patient. This may include medications, therapy, or other interventions.
4. Follow-up: The clinic may continue to monitor the patient's condition over time, and may refer the patient back to the laboratory for additional testing if necessary.
Effective communication between the clinic and laboratory is essential for ensuring that patients receive the appropriate care. Clinics and laboratories may use electronic health records (EHRs) to share patient information securely and efficiently. They may also collaborate to develop protocols for ordering and interpreting laboratory tests to ensure that they are used appropriately and effectively.Overall, the collaboration between an outpatient neurological clinic and laboratory is essential for providing high-quality diagnostic and treatment services to patients with neurological conditions. By working together, these healthcare providers can ensure that patients receive the care they need to manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
TENS – Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Neurological Treatment
TENS – Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy is a FDA approved, commonly used method in up-to-date pain management. It’s used for many forms of acute and chronic pain. Two electrodes are place on the skin and connected to a unit. The unit generates electricity and passes it truth the electrode in the affected area of the body. There are different theories how TENS works. Some suggest that the electricity inhibits interneurons, nerve cells transmitting pain sensations. Others suggest that it has a similar effect as acupuncture. Moreover it is discussed that TENS triggers the release of opiates and thus reducing the pain. By controlling the electrical pulse rate, pulse width, pulse wave the specific pain nerves are targeted. The intensity depends on the patient it should be strong but not painful itself.
By breaking the vicious circle – pain – muscle spasm – impaired movement and posture – pain – TENS reliefs the most common forms of pain. It is easy to apply and shows fast results.

Guillain Barré Syndrome Treatment
Neurological Treatment
Guillain Barré Syndrome Treatment
At GNC, we offer top-quality Guillain-Barré Syndrome treatment in Dubai for this rare and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. Our expert team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing early diagnosis and effective treatment to improve the chances of a full recovery.Named after Georges Guillain and Jean Alexandre Barré, who first described the condition in 1916, GBS can cause severe symptoms such as muscle weakness, paralysis, and respiratory failure. Although there is no known cure for GBS, our advanced treatments and personalized care can help manage the symptoms and support your recovery. If you suspect that you or a loved one may have GBS, don't hesitate to contact us for a consultation and the best Guillain-Barré Syndrome treatment in Dubai.
Guillain Barré Syndrome Symptoms
Symptoms of GBS usually begin with weakness or tingling in the legs, which can spread to the arms, face, and upper body. The weakness can range from mild to severe and can sometimes progress to complete paralysis. Other symptoms may include difficulty speaking, difficulty swallowing, and difficulty breathing due to muscle weakness. In some cases, GBS can cause a rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and problems with bladder and bowel function.
Risk factors for Barré Syndrome
GBS can affect people of any age, but it is more common in older adults and in people with certain medical conditions. Some of the risk factors for GBS include:
- Previous infections: GBS is more likely to occur after an infection, especially infections caused by bacteria or viruses.
- Previous vaccinations: GBS has been reported to occur after some vaccines, although this is rare.
- Other autoimmune disorders: People with autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, may be at increased risk of developing GBS.
- Certain medications: Some medications, such as certain cancer drugs and HIV medications, may increase the risk of GBS.
- Surgery: GBS has been reported to occur after certain types of surgery, although this is rare.
Barré Syndrome types
There are several different subtypes of GBS based on the pattern of muscle weakness and other symptoms. The most common subtype is called acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), which is characterized by weakness that starts in the legs and spreads to the arms and upper body. Other subtypes of GBS include:
- Miller Fisher syndrome: This subtype is characterized by weakness in the eye muscles, difficulty coordinating movements, and a distinctive pattern of abnormal reflexes.
- Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN): This subtype is characterized by weakness that is more severe in the lower body and less severe in the upper body.
- Acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN): This subtype is similar to AMAN, but it also affects the sensory nerves, which can cause numbness and tingling.
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP): This subtype is a long-lasting form of GBS that causes progressive muscle weakness and sensory symptoms.
- GBS and COVID-19: GBS has been reported to occur in some people who have been infected with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. However, the overall risk of developing GBS after a COVID-19 infection is low. It is important to note that COVID-19 can cause a wide range of symptoms, and most people who are infected with the virus will not develop GBS. If you have been infected with COVID-19 and are experiencing weakness or other unusual symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
- Long-term effects of GBS: Most people with GBS recover fully or have only minor residual weakness, but some may experience long-term disability. In rare cases, GBS can be life-threatening, particularly if it causes respiratory failure or other complications. It is important for people with GBS to follow a treatment plan and participate in physical therapy and rehabilitation to maximize their recovery and minimize any long-term effects.
Barré Syndrome Cause
The exact cause of GBS is unknown, but it is thought to be triggered by an infection or other immune system reaction. It is most commonly associated with infections caused by bacteria or viruses, such as Campylobacter jejuni, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, HIV, and Zika virus. In some cases, GBS can occur after vaccination or surgery.
Barré Syndrome Diagnosis
GBS is diagnosed based on a combination of clinical examination, laboratory tests, and nerve conduction studies. The diagnosis is typically made by a neurologist, who will perform a physical examination and ask about the person's medical history and symptoms. Laboratory tests may be used to rule out other conditions and to identify any underlying infections or other triggers. Nerve conduction studies involve attaching electrodes to the skin and measuring the electrical activity of the nerves and muscles. These tests can help confirm the diagnosis of GBS and determine the extent and severity of nerve damage.
Barré Syndrome Treatment
Treatment for GBS typically involves supportive care in a hospital setting, such as intravenous (IV) fluids, medications to manage pain and other symptoms, and respiratory support if needed. Some people may also receive immunoglobulin therapy, which involves injecting a concentrated solution of antibodies into the bloodstream to help the body fight the immune attack on the nerves. Physical therapy and rehabilitation may also be recommended to help people recover muscle strength and mobility.In some cases, GBS may be treated with plasma exchange, also known as plasmapheresis. During this procedure, the person's blood is removed, the plasma (the liquid portion of the blood) is separated out, and the blood cells are returned to the body along with a replacement plasma solution. Plasma exchange is thought to work by removing harmful substances from the plasma that may be contributing to the immune attack on the nerves.
Barré Syndrome Prognosis
The prognosis for GBS varies depending on the severity of the condition and the speed of treatment. Most people with GBS recover fully or have only minor residual weakness, but some may experience long-term disability. In rare cases, GBS can be life-threatening, particularly if it causes respiratory failure or other complications.There is no known way to prevent GBS, but prompt treatment of infections and other underlying conditions may reduce the risk of developing the condition. It is also important to follow recommended vaccination schedules to help prevent infections that may trigger GBS.Overall, GBS is a serious but treatable condition that requires prompt medical attention. If you or someone you know experiences symptoms of GBS, it is important to seek medical care as soon as possible.

The problems addressed are psychological in nature and can vary in terms of their causes, influences, triggers, and potential resolutions. Accurate assessment of these and other variables depends on the practitioner’s capability and can change or evolve as the practitioner acquires experience, knowledge, and insight.

Talent Optimization
Psychological Treamtent
Talent Optimization
Talent identification and talent optimization are important topics in the world of sports, music and business. It has been proven that practice leads to better accomplishments and that, due to practice otherwise known as deliberate practice, actual changes occur in the brain. This fact has become known as the ’10 year rule’: training or practicing during the course of a period of 10 years cause a significant improvement in accomplishments and with that also changes in brain tissue. However, if all team members live and train in the same context i.e. each following the same amount of training time as well as the same eating pattern and each spend equal amounts of time sleeping, how is it possible that one member achieves a higher level of performance than the other?
How it possible is that one member achieves a higher level of performance than the other?
Talent is the explanation for why some achieve more than others (under the same learning conditions). Top-talents present with an extraordinarily high standard of cognitive skills, primarily in the areas of visual information processing speed and working-memory. Aside from these cognitive skills, the motivational profile of these top-talents is of equal importance. They have certain personality traits at their disposal which enable excellent achievements. In combining excellent cognitive skills with a specific motivational profile, the chances of success are increased.
How to identify talent?
Identifying and optimizing top-talent is a unique process in which clinical neuropsychology seems to be gaining a role of ever increasing importance.
To belong to the best in the world and to be able to compete with them, several ingredients can be extracted from the nature-nurture discussion which seem essential in predicting success. Although many hours of specific training focused on changing brain tissue are necessary to achieve a certain skill, it seems that intellectual, cognitive and congenital characteristics play an equally important part. Neuropsychological research demonstrates this point, using cognitive tests, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. When people with certain skills (talent) are selected, a training programme should be carried out which will support optimal development of brain tissue, which in turn will optimize the functionality of the skill system being trained. With this in mind one should base ones conclusions on the principles of scientific literature on learning. A clinical talent identification and talent optimization neuropsychologist can be deployed when identifying and optimizing talent as well as composing a specific team culture and aligning different characters to form the most desirable combination for a top-class team.

How to optimize talent?
We used the above mentioned theoretical knowledge in West-Europe and they proved to be very effective. Since recently, these concepts are also implemented in the UAE:
• Various sports teams in West-Europe: soccer first teams and youth teams (Chelsea, Swansea, ADO Den Haag, PEC Zwolle, AZ Alkmaar, Anderlecht / Brussels), Dutch Olympic swimming team, Dutch Olympic basketball team, Swiss professional ice hockey team, Dutch professional ice skating team, international MMA / boxing competitors, BMX, golf and tennis): talent identification and optimisation on both individual and team level. After implementing the techniques, the players performed better at individual level and the teams ranked significantly higher.
• Various gifted talents in music: piano (Imola Music School) and harp: talent identification. The neuropsychological measurements turned out to have predictive value and identified who would reach world class level.
• Various high level business: engineering, education, law enforcement, etc.: talent identification and optimization. We were hired to identify the individuals with high potential and restructure their organizations to optimize the functioning on both individual and team level.

Benefits of Marriage Counseling in Dubai
One of the key benefits of couple and marriage Counseling is that it is completely confidential. This means that you can discuss your problems and feelings freely and openly, without fear of judgment or criticism. This is especially important for couples who may be dealing with sensitive or difficult issues, such as infidelity or abuse.
Another important benefit of couples therapy is that it can help couples to learn new communication and problem-solving skills. Many couples find that they have difficulty expressing their feelings or understanding each other's perspectives, and the therapy can help them to develop more effective ways of communicating.
This can include learning how to listen actively, how to express feelings in a healthy way, and how to compromise and negotiate when there is a disagreement.
Couple Counseling can also help couples to identify and address the underlying issues that may be causing problems in their relationship. For example, if a couple is struggling with financial stress, a therapist may help them to identify the root cause of the problem and develop a plan to address it.
Similarly, if a couple is experiencing infidelity, a therapist may help them to understand why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again in the future.
For couples who are dealing with more serious problems, such as abuse or addiction, Couples therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment to help them work through these issues.
A therapist can help couples to understand the dynamics of the abuse and how to stay safe, as well as how to work through the trauma and develop a plan to move forward.
Is Marriage Counseling Right For You?
It is important to note that marriage Counseling is not just for couples who are experiencing problems or conflicts. It is also beneficial for couples who want to improve their relationship and strengthen their bond. Regular relationship Counseling sessions can help couples to prevent problems from developing and ensure that they are on the same page when it comes to their goals, values, and expectations.
It can also be helpful for couples who are going through major life changes, such as having a baby, buying a house, or dealing with the loss of a loved one. These changes can put a lot of stress on a relationship and a couples counselor can help navigate through these difficult times.
Alternative Approaches in Dubai
In addition to traditional Relationship Counseling, there are also a number of alternative approaches in Dubai. For example, some therapists may use mindfulness or meditation techniques to help couples develop greater awareness of their thoughts and feelings. Others may use art or music therapy to help couples express themselves in new ways.
Finding the Right Therapist
Ultimately, the key to a successful couples therapy in Dubai is finding the right therapist for you and your partner. A good therapist will be someone who is experienced, compassionate, and non-judgmental, and who is able to help you work through your problems in a way that feels comfortable and supportive.
If you are considering therapy for your relationship, it is important to do your research and find a therapist who is well-suited to your needs. You can start by asking friends or family members for recommendations, or by looking online for reviews and ratings of different therapists in your area.
Dr. Letizia Cardelli – Marriage Counselor in Dubai
Dr. Letizia is an Italian Board Certified Psychologist and specialized in systemic marriage and couple counselling. Systemic marriage and couple counselling is a type of therapy that focuses on the relationship dynamics between partners, rather than individual problems. The therapist aims to help couples understand how they interact with each other and how their behavior affects the relationship. By exploring these patterns of behavior and communication, the couple can gain insight into what needs to change for their relationship to thrive.
One of the key benefits of systemic marriage and couple counselling is that it can help couples to resolve conflicts in a safe and supportive environment. Through the guidance of the therapist, couples can learn new ways of communicating and find effective solutions to their problems. This can lead to a stronger, more stable relationship and a more fulfilling life for both partners.
Another benefit of systemic marriage and couple counselling is that it can help to prevent the breakdown of relationships. By addressing problems early on, couples can avoid the negative impact that can come from unresolved conflicts and misunderstandings. This can help to preserve the love and commitment that brought the couple together in the first place.

BioFeedback
Psychiatric Treatment
BioFeedback
Treatment / Diagnostics
BioFeedback
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback is psycho- physiological measurement (Heart Rate-ECG, Blood Pressure, and Respiration) to diagnose autonomic regulation, stress resistance, cardiovascular health, and vitality in persons. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) means changes in the interval or distance between one beat of the heart and the next. The interbeat interval (IBI) is the time between one R-wave (or heart beat) and the next, in milliseconds. The IBI is highly variable within any given time period. HRV is analyzed in two ways, either over time (Time Domain) or in terms of the frequency of changes in Heart Rate (Frequency Domain).
HRV biofeedback training is a special technique for training individuals to change their variability as well as dominant heart rhythms in cardiovascular activity in order to increase their vitality and health. HRV biofeedback is applied to a variety of medical and psychiatric conditions such as: anger, anxiety disorders, stress disorder, depression, asthma, cardiovascular problems, or chronic fatigue. Biofeedback training suites for individuals who would like to increase the percentage of total HRV (vitality) by proper breathing exercises in order to adjust their “resonant frequency” and, thus, generate autonomic balance of the nervous system between sympathetic and parasympathetic tone.
Each individual has a “resonant frequency” at which heart rate variability is the greatest and the most vital for their organism. This “resonant frequency” is measured by HRV biofeedback instruments and it is a training of the heart rhythm by respiration called Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). This “resonant frequency” is mostly produced by persons in a relaxed mental state, with a positive emotional stage, and especially by diaphragmatic breathing at a rate of about 5-7 breaths per minute. Thus, individuals in HRV biofeedback training are directly taught to increasing their HRV parameters and, consequently, improve their mental health, vitality, autonomic balance.
Neurofeedback – also called EEG-Biofeedback – is a scientifically proven computer-aided brain training to improve certain functions of the brain. Patients learn to change their own brain waves to enhance certain skills, such as concentration, memory, top performance, creativity, relaxation, etc. At the German Neuroscience Center Dubai, we are offering the highest quality Neurofeedback treatment with the leading Neurofeedback experts in the region.

Background
Knowing from long years of experience that neurological or psychiatric illnesses are very often considered to be better not mentioned or talked about, we would nonetheless like to introduce you briefly to the world of neurology and psychiatry. There are no other medical sciences that have achieved more progress and improvement over the past decades than these. Especially the “Decade of the brain” led to a definite change for the better in diagnostics and therapies. Today we can offer a wide range of modern diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities for nearly all psychiatric and neurological disorders. Yet, when it comes to neurological deficits or mental illness there are still many prejudices and unnecessary fears prevalent.
Whereas usually everybody accepts the fact that illness is normal and happens to everyone from time to time, normal illnesses are most often considered to be solely physical such as a broken leg, colds, diarrhoea or similar. Diabetes mellitus is as normal an illness as is backache or headache.
Illnesses of the brain, the psyche or neurological deficiencies are also as normal as any other illnesses and moreover, they are not only very common but on the increase. Their patterns may sometimes be worrying or frightening but this is largely due to a huge lack of information in general public.
According to the study “The Global Burden of disease” carried out by the WHO (World Health Organization) depression for instance is the most important disease of all, more important even than diseases of the heart, asthma or cancer. And yet, the majority of people suffering from depression do not seek professional help or are not treated sufficiently. We should therefore not only like to contribute to health education but we offer practical help and assistance to everyone suffering from or fearing psychiatric and/or neurological disorders.

Causes of Fibromyalgia
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it is thought to be related to a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Some research suggests that fibromyalgia may be related to abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the brain that are involved in the perception of pain. Other factors that may contribute to the development of fibromyalgia include:
1. Trauma: Physical or emotional trauma, such as a car accident or surgery, may trigger the development of fibromyalgia.
2. Infections: Some infections, such as Lyme disease or the flu, may increase the risk of developing fibromyalgia.
3. Hormonal imbalances: Abnormal levels of certain hormones, such as cortisol or serotonin, may contribute to the development of fibromyalgia.
Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
The most common symptoms of fibromyalgia include:
- Widespread pain: People with fibromyalgia often experience pain that is widespread throughout their body, rather than in a specific area. The pain may be constant or intermittent and may range from mild to severe.
- Fatigue: People with fibromyalgia often experience extreme fatigue that is not relieved by rest.
- Tenderness: People with fibromyalgia may have tender points on their body, which are areas that are especially sensitive to pressure.
- Cognitive issues: Some people with fibromyalgia may experience cognitive issues, such as difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and difficulty processing information.
Other symptoms of fibromyalgia may include:
- Headaches
- Sleep disturbances
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Depression
- Anxiety
Treatment of Fibromyalgia
There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but treatment can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment for fibromyalgia may include:
- Medications: There are several medications that can be used to treat fibromyalgia, including pain relievers, antidepressants, and anti-seizure drugs.
- Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help improve flexibility, strength, and endurance, which can help reduce pain and fatigue.
- Exercise: Regular exercise can help improve overall physical and mental health and may help reduce pain and fatigue in people with fibromyalgia.
- Counseling: Counseling, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, can help people with fibromyalgia learn coping strategies to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
It is important to work with a healthcare professional to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition, so ongoing management is usually necessary to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
Tips for managing Fibromyalgia
Living with fibromyalgia can be challenging, but there are steps that can be taken to manage the condition and improve quality of life. It is important to educate yourself about fibromyalgia and to work with a healthcare professional to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.Some tips for managing fibromyalgia include:
1. Stick to a consistent sleep schedule: Getting enough sleep is important for managing fibromyalgia. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
2. Exercise regularly: Exercise can help improve physical and mental health, reduce pain and fatigue, and improve sleep. It is important to find an exercise program that is manageable and enjoyable.
3. Eat a healthy diet: A healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help improve overall health and may help reduce fibromyalgia symptoms.
4. Manage stress: Stress can worsen fibromyalgia symptoms, so it is important to find ways to manage stress, such as through relaxation techniques, counseling, or exercise.
5. Avoid overdoing it: It is important to pace yourself and not push yourself too hard, as this can lead to a flare-up of symptoms.
6. Get enough rest: In addition to getting enough sleep, it is important to also rest during the day if needed.
7. Take breaks: Taking breaks and scheduling regular rest periods can help reduce fatigue and improve energy levels.
8. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help reduce pain and fatigue.

Huntington’s Disease Treatment
Neurological Treatment
Huntington’s Disease Treatment
At GNC, we provide top-quality Huntington's Disease treatment in Dubai for individuals affected by this genetic disorder that causes progressive physical, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. While there is currently no cure for the disease, our expert healthcare professionals offer a range of treatment options to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Dubai is home to many facilities that offer comprehensive care for individuals with Huntington's disease, and our team is dedicated to providing the best possible care and support to our patients. If you or a loved one is affected by Huntington's disease, don't hesitate to contact us to learn more about our treatment options and how we can help.
Symptoms of Huntington's Disease
The primary symptoms of Huntington’s Disease are movement abnormalities, including involuntary writhing movements (chorea), difficulty with balance and coordination, and slow or abnormal eye movements. Other symptoms may include cognitive problems, such as difficulty with memory, concentration, and decision-making, as well as behavioral changes, such as mood swings, impulsivity, and irritability.
Causes of Huntington's disease
Huntington’s Disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the HTT gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called huntingtin. The HTT gene mutation results in an abnormal form of huntingtin protein that accumulates in nerve cells, leading to their death. The genetic mutation is passed down from a person's parents, and a person who inherits the mutation has a 50% chance of developing Huntington’s Disease.
Diagnosis and Testing
There is no cure for Huntington’s Disease, and treatment is focused on managing the symptoms of the disease. This may include medications to control movement abnormalities and behavioral changes, as well as physical and occupational therapy to help maintain mobility and function. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to address specific symptoms, such as uncontrolled eye movements. Supportive care, including counseling and support groups, can also be helpful for managing the emotional and social aspects of living with Huntington’s Disease.Huntington’s Disease is a devastating and progressive disease that has a profound impact on the lives of those affected by it, as well as their families and caregivers. As Huntington’s Disease progresses, individuals may experience worsening of the symptoms mentioned above, including difficulty with movement, cognition, and behavior. The rate of progression can vary widely, with some individuals experiencing a relatively slow decline while others may experience a more rapid decline.
Emotional and Social Impacts
In addition to the physical and cognitive symptoms of Huntington’s Disease, the disease can also have significant emotional and social impacts. People with Huntington’s Disease may experience depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems as a result of the disease. They may also face social challenges, such as difficulty with work and relationships, and may need support from caregivers and loved ones.A diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease can be overwhelming and stressful for individuals and their families. It is important for those affected by Huntington’s Disease to seek support from healthcare professionals, as well as from support groups and other resources.
Future Planning
There are several genetic tests available to determine if a person has the HTT gene mutation that causes Huntington’s Disease. These tests can be done before symptoms of Huntington’s Disease appear, and can help individuals and families make informed decisions about their health and future planning.
Alternative Strategies
In addition to medical care, there are several other strategies that can help individuals with Huntington’s Disease and their families manage the challenges of living with the disease. These may include:
1. Participating in physical and occupational therapy: These therapies can help individuals with Huntington’s Disease maintain mobility and function, and may also be helpful in managing movement abnormalities.
2. Seeking mental health support: Huntington’s Disease can have significant emotional and psychological impacts, and it is important for individuals with Huntington’s Disease and their families to seek mental health support as needed. This may include counseling, support groups, and other resources.
3. Planning for the future: Huntington’s Disease is a progressive disease, and it is important for individuals with Huntington’s Disease and their families to consider future planning and make arrangements as needed. This may include setting up power of attorney, creating a will, and discussing end-of-life care preferences.
4. Seeking financial assistance: Huntington’s Disease can be financially burdensome, and there may be resources available to help cover the costs of medical care and other expenses related to the disease. It is important for individuals with Huntington’s Disease and their families to research financial assistance options and apply for any programs for which they may be eligible.
5. Staying informed: It is important for individuals with Huntington’s Disease and their families to stay informed about the latest developments in Huntington’s Disease research and treatment options. This may involve reading articles, attending conferences or webinars, and connecting with other individuals with Huntington’s Disease and their families.
Conclusion
In summary, Huntington's Disease (HD) is a rare, inherited neurological disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It is a devastating and progressive disease that has a profound impact on the lives of those affected by it, as well as their families.If you or someone you know is living with Huntington's Disease in Dubai, it's important to know that there are treatment options available to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Seeking medical care and support from healthcare professionals in Dubai can make a significant difference in managing the disease. Additionally, ongoing research into potential treatments and a cure for Huntington's Disease gives hope for the future.

Teen Support Group Dubai
Psychiatric Treatment
Teen Support Group Dubai
The German Neuroscience Center is hosting free support groups for teenagers in the UAE. The format is designed to provide a confidential environment for teens between 12 and 18 years old to discuss and to learn how to deal with issues of life, stress in school or at home, negative feelings, frustration, issues of self-esteem and other challenges.
Largest cause of the burden of disease among young people
The World Health Organization (WHO) cites mental health problems - in particular depression - as the largest cause of the burden of disease among young people. According to statistics shared by Young Minds in the United Kingdom:
• 1 in 10 children and young people aged 5 to 16 suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder.
• The number of young people aged 15 to 16 with depression nearly doubled between the 1980s and the 2000s.
• Nearly 80,000 children and young people suffer from severe depression.
• More than half of all adults with mental health problems were diagnosed in childhood.
The meetings will be led by American Board certified psychologist Fadwa L. Lkorchy, from German Neuroscience Center, who believes that both children and parents are in need of more help to cope with common issues facing families. She explains:
‘’teen mental health is a huge concern, especially as incidences of depression, self-harm and suicide are all on the increase amongst adolescents."
"Whilst teens face similar issues all over the world, such as academic pressure, bullying, sexuality and online safety, they are exacerbated in a place like the UAE where a mix of cultural values can make it even harder to establish an identity and achieve a sense of freedom.’’She adds: ‘’It is vital to tackle these problems early on and equip children with the necessary coping mechanisms to help them deal with pressure, in order to minimise problems like depression later on. Many parents have told us they want their teens to have somewhere to go for the kind of impartial help and advice they cannot get at home.’’

Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS)
Psychiatric Treatment
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS)
Autism is a developmental disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, one in every 160 children has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In Dubai, this number is estimated to be around 10,000, and it is crucial for parents to identify the condition early so that they can provide the necessary support and interventions for their child.
The gold standard for diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS)
The ADOS is a standardized test used to evaluate individuals who may have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The test is administered by a trained healthcare professional and involves a series of activities and tasks designed to assess various aspects of functioning such as social interaction, communication, play, and imagination. The ADOS is widely used by healthcare professionals in Dubai and worldwide.If you are a parent or caregiver of a child who may be on the autism spectrum, it is essential to seek an evaluation from a trained professional. The earlier the diagnosis, the better the outcomes for your child.The ADOS test is typically conducted in a quiet, distraction-free room to ensure accurate results. The test typically takes about an hour administration time, depending on the individual's age and level of functioning. It is designed to be engaging and non-threatening to the individual being tested, with the healthcare professional adapting the activities and tasks to the individual's speech complexity and developmental level.The healthcare professional may ask the individual to engage in a conversation or ask them to perform a task that requires imagination or creativity. They may also observe the individual's behavior during play or structured activities.This test is scored based on several factors and the tester will use standardized criteria to evaluate the individual's behavior and assign a score based on their observations.Overall, the ADOS is a valuable tool for evaluating individuals who may have Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is designed to be engaging and non-threatening to the individual being tested. The results of the test can help make an accurate diagnosis and develop a treatment plan to support the individual's unique needs.The German Neuroscience Center is the preferred choice for families seeking an ADOS test for their child. Their highly qualified team, state-of-the-art facilities, and multidisciplinary approach to treatment make them one of the best clinics in Dubai for diagnosing and treating autism.The German Neuroscience Center is the leading clinic for Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychology in Dubai and beyond.

Autism Treatment
Psychiatric Treatment
Autism Treatment
At GNC Dubai, we understand that autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, including many in Dubai. With its wide-ranging symptoms and causes, autism can be a challenging condition to understand and navigate. However, as an Autism Treatment Center in Dubai, we believe that with the right treatment and support, individuals with autism can thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
What is Autism? How common is it in the UAE?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals differently. The term "spectrum" refers to the wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment that people with ASD can have. ASD is characterized by difficulty with social communication and interaction, repetitive behaviors or interests, and sensory sensitivities.In this article, we will explore the prevalence, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and common challenges associated with ASD, with a specific focus on Autism Treatment in Dubai. We will also provide information on supportive strategies and resources available to individuals and families affected by autism in Dubai.Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disability; signs typically appear during early childhood and affect a person’s ability to communicate, and interact with others. ASD is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum condition” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause of autism, but increased awareness and early diagnosis/intervention and access to appropriate services/supports lead to significantly improved outcomes. Some of the behaviors associated with autism include delayed learning of language; difficulty making eye contact or holding a conversation; difficulty with executive functioning, which relates to reasoning and planning; narrow, intense interests; poor motor skills’ and sensory sensitivities. Again, a person on the spectrum might follow many of these behaviors or just a few, or many others besides. The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is applied based on analysis of all behaviors and their severity. Incidence rates in the UAE compare to the rest of the world - about 1 percent of the world population has autism spectrum disorder. (CDC, 2014); 1 percent of the adult population of the United Kingdom has autism spectrum disorder.
Prevalence
- ASD is a spectrum disorder, meaning that the severity of symptoms can vary widely among individuals with autism.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 in 54 children in the United States are diagnosed with ASD.
- It is four times more common in boys than girls, and it occurs in all racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups.
Causes and Risk Factors for Autism Spectrum Disorder
The exact causes of ASD are still unknown, but research has identified some potential risk factors, including:
- Genetic factors: ASD tends to run in families, and certain genes may increase the risk of developing ASD.
- Environmental factors: Exposure to certain chemicals or toxins during pregnancy, such as air pollution, may increase the risk of ASD.
- Premature birth: Babies born prematurely may be at higher risk for developing ASD.
- Sex: ASD is more common in boys than girls.
Symptoms
There are many signs and symptoms of autism, and they can vary greatly from person to person. Some common signs and symptoms of autism in children may include:
1. Delays in language development, such as not speaking or using limited words by age 2,
2. Difficulty with social interactions and communication, such as not responding to their name or avoiding eye contact,
3. Repetitive behaviors or interests, such as lining up toys or flapping their hands,
4. Sensory sensitivities, such as being extremely sensitive to loud noises or textures,
It is important to note that every individual with autism is unique and may experience different signs and symptoms. It is also important to note that children with autism may not show all of the signs and symptoms listed above.
Diagnostics for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Diagnosing ASD can be a complex process that involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as a pediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist. The evaluation may include:
- A developmental screening: This is a brief test that assesses a child's developmental progress and identifies any potential delays.
- A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation: This is a more in-depth evaluation that may include observations of the child's behavior, interviews with the child's parents or caregivers, and standardized tests (such as the ADOS – Autism diagnostic observation schedule).
Treatment
There is no cure for ASD, but there are many treatment options that can help individuals with autism improve their social, communication, and cognitive skills. These treatments may include:
- Behavioral therapy: This type of therapy focuses on teaching new skills and behaviors, as well as decreasing problem behaviors.
- Speech therapy: This type of therapy helps individuals with autism improve their language and communication skills.
- Occupational therapy: This type of therapy helps individuals with autism improve their ability to perform daily activities, such as dressing and bathing.
- Medications: There are no medications that can cure autism, but certain medications may be used to treat specific symptoms, such as anxiety or hyperactivity.
Choose the Right Treatment
It is important to work with a team of healthcare professionals, such as a pediatrician, psychologist, and therapist, to determine the best treatment plan for your child. It is also important to remember that treatment for ASD is often most effective when it begins at an early age.In addition to medical and therapeutic treatment, there are also many supportive strategies that can help individuals with ASD and their families. These strategies may include:
1. Special education services: Children with autism may be eligible for special education services, such as speech therapy or occupational therapy, through their school district.
2. Support groups: Joining a support group can be a great way to connect with other families dealing with autism and to learn more about the disorder.
3. Respite care: Respite care can provide temporary relief for caregivers by providing someone to care for the individual with autism while the caregiver takes a break.
Living with autism can be challenging, but with the right treatment and support, individuals with autism can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. It is important to remember that every individual with autism is unique and will have their own strengths and challenges. With patience, understanding, and support, individuals with autism and their families can thrive.The German Neuroscience Center (GNC) in Dubai is a leading healthcare institution that provides comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and management of various neurological and psychological conditions, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Here are some reasons why the GNC is the best clinic to treat ASD:
1. Multidisciplinary Team of Experts: The GNC has a team of highly qualified and experienced professionals, including neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, who work collaboratively to provide a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of ASD. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that patients receive personalized, evidence-based care that meets their specific needs.
2. State-of-the-Art Facilities: The GNC is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technologies that are essential for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of ASD. These include advanced diagnostic tools, such as EEG, MRI, and neuropsychological tests, and therapeutic interventions, such as behavioral therapy.
3. Individualized Treatment Plans: At the GNC, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and goals. The team works closely with the patient and their family to develop a treatment plan that addresses their unique challenges and maximizes their strengths.
4. Family-Centered Approach: The GNC recognizes that ASD not only affects the individual but also their family members. Therefore, they adopt a family-centered approach to care that involves providing support, education, and resources to the entire family. This approach ensures that families are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to support their loved ones with ASD.
Common Challenges
There are many challenges that individuals with autism and their families may face, and it is important to be aware of these challenges and to have a plan in place to address them. Some common challenges may include:
- Social isolation: Individuals with ASD may have difficulty socializing and connecting with others, which can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. It is important to actively seek out social opportunities and to encourage socialization and communication with others.
- Sensory sensitivities: Many individuals with autism have sensory sensitivities, which can make certain experiences, such as loud noises or crowded places, overwhelming and uncomfortable. It is important to be aware of these sensitivities and to try to accommodate them as much as possible.
- Difficulty with transitions: Changes in routine or unfamiliar environments can be difficult for individuals with ASD, and they may have difficulty adapting to these transitions. It is important to provide plenty of advance warning of any changes and to have a plan in place to help the individual cope with these changes.
- Difficulty with self-regulation: Individuals with autism may have difficulty regulating their emotions and behaviors, which can lead to meltdowns or other behavioral challenges. It is important to have strategies in place to help the individual manage their emotions and behaviors, such as providing a quiet space or using deep breathing techniques.
In addition to these challenges, individuals with autism and their families may also face financial challenges due to the cost of treatment and support services. Many insurance plans, including Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), cover some treatment and support services for individuals with autism. It is important to work with a healthcare provider to determine what treatments and services are covered by your insurance plan.
Other Autism Organizations
There are also many resources available to families of individuals with autism. Some resources may include:
- The Autism Society: This organization provides support and information to individuals with autism and their families.
- The Autism Science Foundation: This organization funds autism research and provides information and resources to families and individuals with autism.
- The National Autism Association: This organization provides support and resources to families of individuals with autism, including information on financial assistance and support groups.
It is important to remember that you are not alone in your journey with ASD. There are many resources and support systems available to help you and your family navigate the challenges of living with ASD. With the right treatment and support, individuals with ASD can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.In addition to the treatment and support options discussed above, there are also many strategies that individuals with autism and their families can use at home to promote positive behavior and development. Some strategies may include:
- Establishing a routine: Having a consistent daily routine can help individuals with autism feel more secure and better able to cope with changes.
- Using visual supports: Visual supports, such as pictures or diagrams, can help individuals with autism understand and follow instructions.
- Encouraging communication: Encouraging communication and social interaction, such as through play or conversation, can help individuals with autism improve their social and communication skills.
- Providing structure: Providing clear expectations and structure can help individuals with autism understand what is expected of them and feel more in control.
- Using positive reinforcement: Positive reinforcement, such as praising and rewarding desired behaviors, can be an effective way to encourage positive behavior.
It is also important to be aware of the potential triggers that may lead to negative behavior in individuals with autism and to have a plan in place to manage these behaviors. Triggers may include changes in routine, sensory overload, or stress. It is important to work with a healthcare provider or therapist to develop a plan for managing negative behaviors.Living with ASD can be challenging, but it is also a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Every individual with autism is unique and has their own strengths and challenges. With the right treatment, support, and strategies, individuals with autism can lead happy and fulfilling lives. It is important to remember that you are not alone in your journey with autism and that there are many resources and support systems available to help you and your family.As a parent or caregiver of an individual with autism, it is important to take care of yourself and seek out support and resources to help you navigate the challenges of caring for someone with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Some tips for caring for yourself and your loved one with autism may include:
- Seeking support: It can be helpful to join a support group or connect with other parents or caregivers of individuals with autism. Sharing experiences and receiving support from others can be a great source of strength and encouragement.

Types of Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy can affect people of all ages, but it is most often diagnosed in infants and young children. It is important for individuals with cerebral palsy to receive timely and appropriate medical care and support to help them reach their full potential and lead fulfilling livesThere are four main types of cerebral palsy, each of which is characterized by specific patterns of muscle weakness and abnormalities in movement. These types include:
- Spastic cerebral palsy: This is the most common type of cerebral palsy, and is characterized by tight, stiff muscles that make it difficult to move smoothly. It can affect one side of the body (hemiplegia), both legs (diplegia), or all four limbs (quadriplegia).
- Dyskinetic cerebral palsy: This type of cerebral palsy is characterized by involuntary, uncontrolled movements and difficulty with muscle control. It can include movements such as tremors, writhing, or sustained abnormal postures.
- Ataxic cerebral palsy: This type of cerebral palsy is characterized by problems with balance and coordination, as well as tremors and a difficulty with precise movements. It is the least common type of cerebral palsy.
- Mixed cerebral palsy: As the name suggests, this type of cerebral palsy is a combination of two or more of the other types, and can include a mix of spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxic symptoms.
Severity and Impact
The severity of cerebral palsy can vary widely, and individuals with the condition may have different levels of physical and cognitive impairment. Some individuals with cerebral palsy may be able to walk and perform many activities independently, while others may require significant support and assistance with daily tasks.

The support group will be attended by psychiatrist Professor Wolfgang Maier, one of Europe’s most eminent experts in the field.The 36-year-old sufferer explains: “I first realised that I had a mental health disorder after one of my children were born, and I felt like I was losing my grasp on the world around me. Initially, Bipolar had a hugely negative impact on my personal and professional life, isolating me from colleagues, friends, and family. Slowly, I have beat the condition and rebuilt my life with the right treatment and by surrounding myself with positivity. Now, my aim is to show other people in the same situation that they can do the same.”Professor Maier, a psychiatrist at the German Neuroscience Center explains: “Bipolar is a brain disorder that causes dramatic shifts in mood, energy and activity levels, making it difficult to deal with everyday life. It is very challenging, and it often goes undiagnosed or untreated making it harder to control. As well as establishing the right diagnosis and treatment, talking to people in the same situation can be very beneficial. There seems to be an especially high propensity of Bipolar in the region, yet there is a lack of support groups available, so we hope this will provide somewhere safe and informal for people to address their feelings”.The free Bipolar support group is being held at the German Neuroscience Center in Jumeirah Lakes Towers.
