Best Neurosurgery and Neurology Clinics in Spain

Spain enjoys international prestige in the field of neurology. All known neurological diseases in adults and children are treated in the country: epilepsy, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, multiple sclerosis, degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, strokes, brain injuries, and others.

The success rate of epilepsy therapy in Spanish clinics is 95%. Moreover, in 70% of cases, doctors manage to relieve patients from seizures without surgery with the help of correctly prescribed drugs. In Spain, 30 types of antiepileptic drugs are registered for the treatment of epilepsy.

Also, thanks to the application of innovations, significant success is achieved in Spain and the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Doctors relieve patients from tremors and help regain control over movements, which significantly improves the quality of life of patients.

In addition, a distinctive feature of Spain is a favorable climate, which contributes to the recovery and improvement of the condition of patients. That is why Spain is considered an ideal country for the rehabilitation of patients with neurological diseases. Successful treatment of diseases of the nervous system primarily depends on the correct diagnosis.

A disease detected in a timely manner responds better to treatment and is distinguished by its long-term results. Clinics in Spain have everything you need to make an accurate diagnosis in the shortest possible time - the latest generation equipment along with world-class neurologists and neurosurgeons.

Surgical treatment of neurological diseases is considered the most effective. Especially if it is carried out in neurosurgical centers in Spain. In 2015, Spanish doctors were among the first in the world of medicine to perform a neurosurgical operation, acting on the brain with ultrasound.

At the same time, the specialists did not open the cranium and did not use anesthesia. Also this year, surgery was performed to remove a brain tumor lasting 12 hours. During the operation, the patient was awake and even played the saxophone. Doctors of Spain were the second in history to perform such a complex neurosurgical operation.

Cost of neurology & neurosurgery procedures in Spain

The cost of treatment in the Spanish neurological departments differs for each patient, depending on the disease, the number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, medications, the need for hospitalization and rehabilitation, as well as other factors.

Procedures Cost (starting from)
Gamma knife radiosurgery $17,000
Brain tumor surgery $22,000
Brain MRI $800
Deep brain stimulation $51,000
Brain SPECT $3000
craniotomy $32000

Radiation therapy $4,000

My daughter was twelve months old when we noticed unusual symptoms and body movements in her. We had no family history of autism, but I had sufficient knowledge about this condition. We took her to a doctor at Teknon Medical Center and discussed her symptoms. The doctor started ABA therapy for her, and it worked well. Now she is three years old, and 70% of her symptoms have been reduced. Thanks to her amazing doctor.

I got my tumor removed at Quironsalud Teknon Medical Center. Although it was a benign tumor, I was extremely worried, but the doctors at Teknon Medical Center made everything easy. I had to undergo two sessions of radiation therapy, but I am glad to announce that the tumor is gone. I am extremely grateful to ClinicsonCall for connecting me to Teknon Medical Center.

From the moment I walked in, the staff made sure I felt at ease, taking the time to explain the procedure and address any concerns. The technicians were incredibly patient and understanding, making sure I was comfortable before starting the scan. The facility itself was clean and well-maintained, contributing to an overall positive experience. I appreciate the care I received at Teknon Medical Center during my scan.

My son was born with scoliosis, and his hunched back deprived him of many activities that a normal kid would do. We started searching for the treatment, but it was unavailable in our country. We decided to search abroad and found out about clinics on call through a friend. We were set up with their coordinator, who suggested we consult Dr. Bartolme Oliver. We did a thorough research on the Internet and decided to visit him. Fortunately, the doctor said it was possible to correct the scoliosis for which he did the surgery. We stayed in Spain for six months, which was worth it. Dr. Oliver was very supportive and helpful throughout our journey.

I recently experienced an Intracranial Hematoma, which was a scary and challenging situation to deal with. It started with a sudden and severe headache, followed by nausea and vomiting, and then I started feeling confused and disoriented. I was rushed to the Quironsalud Hospital Madrid, where I underwent a CT scan that showed bleeding in my brain. The doctors quickly diagnosed me with an Intracranial Hematoma and took me into surgery to remove the clot. The procedure was successful, and I am grateful to the skilled medical team that saved my life. The recovery process was not easy, as I had to spend some time in the ICU and then in a rehabilitation center to regain my strength and mobility. I also had to take medication to prevent seizures and manage my pain. Now, several months after the incident, I am still dealing with some residual symptoms, such as headaches and memory problems. However, I am slowly but surely regaining my independence and returning to my normal activities.

I was diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) after my premature birth. Initially, my parents were very worried about my health and future development, but with the help of my doctors and therapists at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia, I have been able to make progress and reach important milestones. Living with PVL has its challenges, including motor difficulties, speech delays, and learning disabilities. However, I have received great support from my family, caregivers, and medical team, who have worked tirelessly to provide me with the best possible care and interventions. Although PVL is a lifelong condition, I am determined to keep pushing myself and achieving my goals. I am grateful for the love and care I have received, and I am optimistic about my future. My team at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia is very supportive.

I was diagnosed with an AVM a few months ago, and it was quite scary to learn about this condition. However, I am very grateful to have been able to receive proper treatment and care from my doctors at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia. Initially, I did not know much about AVMs and was concerned about what the diagnosis would mean for my health. My doctors did a great job explaining the condition to me and the treatment options available. They recommended that I undergo embolization followed by surgery to remove the AVM. The procedure itself was not too difficult, and I was able to return home the next day. The recovery process was a bit more challenging, but my medical team gave me great support and care. They made sure that I was comfortable and provided me with all the necessary information. Now that I have fully recovered, I feel grateful for the care I received and the successful treatment. I feel much better and am able to resume my daily activities without any problems.

As a patient diagnosed with an aneurysm of the cerebral artery, I wanted to share my experience to help others who may be going through the same thing. Firstly, the diagnosis itself was a shock. I had been experiencing some mild headaches, but I never expected to be told that I had a bulge in the blood vessel in my brain. The medical team at Quironsalud Valencia was very reassuring, and they explained the condition to me in detail, which helped me understand what was happening. The treatment process was also smooth. I was offered two options: surgery or endovascular coiling. After careful consideration, I chose endovascular coiling. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia, and I could go home the next day. I experienced some headaches and fatigue for a few days, but overall, it was smooth. I had to take some time off work to rest, but after a week or so, I could resume my normal activities.

I recently underwent a discectomy to reconstruct my intervertebral cartilage, and I could not be happier with the results. Prior to the surgery, I was experiencing chronic back pain and limited mobility. My doctor at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia recommended this procedure to address the root cause of my discomfort. The surgery itself was relatively straightforward, and my recovery time was minimal. Within a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement. I no longer experience the constant pain I had grown accustomed to, and I can move around more freely. The reconstruction surgery has truly been life-changing for me. I can now enjoy activities I had previously given up on due to my back pain. I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is experiencing similar issues.

As a patient recently diagnosed with Malignant Schwannoma, I would like to share my experience with others facing the same diagnosis. I am a 45-year-old woman who noticed a lump in my leg a few months ago. Initially, I thought it was just a benign cyst, but after consulting with my doctor at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia and undergoing a series of tests, I was diagnosed with Malignant Schwannoma. Although the diagnosis was initially difficult to accept, I felt grateful that my doctor caught it early and we could start treatment immediately. I underwent surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation therapy. The treatment was challenging, but I had an excellent medical team who supported me throughout the process.

I also appreciated that they kept me informed about my progress and adjusted my treatment plan as needed. My pain has significantly decreased, and my arm strength has improved. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone struggling with similar conditions.

I was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma and felt overwhelmed with the treatment options. But when I came across the HM Madrid Hospital in Spain, I felt hopeful. The medical staff, led by Dr. Blanca Lopez Ibor, were highly professional and empathetic, explaining each step of the treatment plan in detail. The clinic has a state-of-the-art facility with the latest medical equipment and technology, and the nursing staff provided exceptional care during my stay. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking treatment for Burkitt's lymphoma.

Benefits of neurosurgery in Spain

Clinics in Spain, in particular the University Hospital of Navarra and the Teknon Clinic, are equipped with the latest scanners for CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and PET (positron emission) diagnostics. These diagnostic methods make it possible to identify diseases of the nervous system at an early stage.

In brain cancer, MRI shows the neurosurgeon the exact size of the tumor, makes it possible to determine its cause, the rate of development, the presence of metastases from 2 mm and the degree of damage to the surrounding tissues. Also, MRI is used directly during the operation.

MRI with contrast agent illuminates the tumor borders, which makes neurosurgical operations in Spain safer and more successful. The surgeon brings endoscopic instruments directly to the neoplasm and does not injure healthy tissue.

Inoperable patients with pituitary adenoma, meningioma and trigeminal neuralgia are prescribed radiosurgery in Spanish clinics using the Cyberknife system, which irradiates the tumor from different angles. CyberKnife does not damage healthy organs due to the accuracy of directing the dose of radiation directly to the tumor.

Diagnostic procedures in Spain

Modern diagnostic methods used in clinics in Spain allow doctors to accurately determine the presence of pathology and establish the causes of its development. 30% of diagnoses made in domestic clinics are corrected after a second examination by Spanish specialists.

A comprehensive examination of the body in Spain lasts 2-3 days, in more complex cases, when it is necessary to study in detail the brain activity, determine the cause of seizures or trace the body's response to therapy, it takes more time. Diagnostic methods depend on the specific neurological disorder.

In Spain, in addition to standard procedures (neurological examination, blood and urine tests, etc.), doctors use the following informative technologies:

  • Electroencephalography (EEG) is the study of the electrical activity of the brain. In Spain, long-term encephalography using video monitoring is performed to diagnose epilepsy. The procedure lasts up to 4 days, at which time the patient takes various medications, and the doctor examines the reaction and brain activity.
  • Neuroimaging is a detailed study of the functional areas of the brain, its structure, tissues, and blood vessels. For example, with the help of magnetic encephalography, Spanish doctors have the opportunity to detect an epileptic focus in the brain, and with the help of an MRI machine, they can examine the brain in detail, assess the degree of tissue damage, and determine the presence of other pathologies. Also, in clinics in Spain, patients with neurological diseases are examined using powerful CT and PET-CT machines, which allow studying the circulatory system of the brain and metabolically active pathological areas.
  • Genetic research- In clinics in Spain, specialists conduct blood and saliva tests of patients to determine genetic mutations that can cause the development of neurological diseases.

Treatment procedures in Spain

In Spain, each patient with neurological disease is treated comprehensively, and several specialists are involved in the process, depending on the specifics of the pathology (neurologist, epileptologist, neurosurgeon, physiotherapist, rehabilitologist, and others).

It is known that many diseases of the central nervous system are difficult to treat. In this case, Spanish specialists are doing everything possible to stop the progression of the disease and alleviate the patient's condition.

  • Drug therapy- All patients with epilepsy are treated according to the same scheme and 2-3 types of antiepileptic drugs are used. A wide range of medicines is available in Spain for the treatment of neurological pathologies. For example, 30 drugs are used to treat epilepsy, each for a specific type of seizure, 15 more are under development and testing. The drug and its dosage are selected using pharmacogenetic testing, as well as during long-term EEG monitoring with the introduction of microdoses of drugs. The analysis allows you to determine which drug is best for epileptic seizures.
  • Surgery- If drug treatment does not bring the desired effect, doctors decide to perform a surgical operation. According to the American Foundation for Epilepsy, in 30% of cases, the disease does not respond to drug therapy. In this case, minimally invasive surgery is used in Spain. The operation is performed with special instruments through a small hole (up to 5 cm).The process is controlled using imaging equipment and neuronavigation, therefore the risk of damage to healthy tissues is minimum. Minimally invasive surgery takes less time to recover.
  • Surgical resection- The method of removing the affected area of the brain responsible for seizures depends on its location - in the temporal, frontal, parietal, or occipital lobes. If it is impossible to safely remove the epileptogenic area, then Spanish neurosurgeons make multiple subpial dissections around the pathological zone. This prevents the seizures from spreading.
  • Epilepsy treatment- In Spain, innovative methods are also used to treat patients with epilepsy, which give excellent results even in the most difficult cases. For example, a procedure is performed to stimulate the vagus nerve (an electronic device placed under the patient's skin generates electrical impulses that block seizures). This method leads to a decrease in the number of seizures in 72% of patients.
  • Parkinson's treatment-For Parkinson's disease and epilepsy in Spain, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is performed. The effectiveness of the method can be up to 90%. This is a minimally invasive surgery in which electrodes are implanted in the brain tissue. As a result, the patients show the disappearance of tremors, normalization of movements, and sleep returns to normal
  • Ultrasound scalpel- In addition to deep brain stimulation in clinics in Spain, Parkinson's disease is treated with the “ultrasound scalpel” (MRiFUS). This is a non-invasive method, the essence of which is the effect of ultrasound on pathological areas of the brain.
  • Physiotherapy- Also in clinics in Spain, patients with various diseases of the nervous system are prescribed modern methods of physiotherapy, speech therapists, rehabilitation therapists, psychologists, and nutritionists work. For problems with the musculoskeletal system, patients are provided with special mechanical beds, wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, and other assistive devices. In almost any clinic, it is possible to accommodate relatives in the same room as the patient.

After the completion of therapy, Spanish doctors keep in touch with patients remotely and, if necessary, adjust the treatment regimen.
