What is Functional Neurosurgery?

Functional Neurosurgery is the specialisation of Neurosurgery that aims to regulate the functional activity of the neuronal circuits of the brain or spinal cord. 


"Functional Neurosurgery is the most modern development internationally in the treatment of diseases of the Nervous System".


Functional Neurosurgery and Neuromodulation

The goal of Functional Neurosurgery is to change the transmission of a signal to the nervous system, using electrical irritation or chemical agents, a process called neuromodulation. The controlled stimulation caused, inhibits or reprograms the activity of neurons or neural networks, in order for unwanted symptoms (pain, tremor, spasticity, etc.) to subside.

"The main goal of Functional Neurosurgery is to improve the quality of life and functionality of the patient."


Then, we choose the most appropriate therapeutic approach, based on modern scientific data, with minimally invasive techniques and sophisticated interventions in the nervous system. 


Reassessment and evaluation

It is our standard method to reassess and evaluate at specified intervals, for the better regulation and adaptation of treatment, as well as the parameters of implanted systems (neurostimulators and replenishment of pumps in chronic therapies). We also make sure to assist other specialties involved in chronic patients in managing the side effects of treatments that may occur.



Therapeutic interventions

The application of treatments is done with minimally invasive methods, such as:
