Neurologist in Dnipro

No, and having one just in case is not advisable. The physician decides the scope of investigation after examining you: in many cases an MRI is not needed at all, and incidental findings of no clinical significance only cause anxiety. If you have already had one, bring the images with you.

Note down when the symptoms started, how often they recur, what brings them on and what relieves them. Bring previous test results and a list of your medication. For headache, a diary covering two to four weeks is particularly useful.

The aim is to reduce how often attacks occur, not merely to relieve pain. That involves preventive medication, adjusting sleep, diet and activity, and working on triggers. Painkillers remain for attacks, but their use is monitored - overuse itself becomes a cause of chronic headache.

Yes. Laboratory tests and ultrasound are done at the centre, so any investigations ordered can be completed the same day. Let the administrator know when booking so the time can be set aside.

A neurology appointment costs from UAH 1000 and lasts 30 minutes. Current prices are in the Prices section and the administrator will confirm them when you book. Investigations are charged separately.
