Neurology

We also provide care for hundreds of rarer neurological conditions. Both our clinics in Lund and Malmö offer outpatient consultations, day care, and inpatient care.

A coordinated, multidisciplinary approach is crucial to achieving our goal of maintaining patients' function, activity, and participation throughout the course of their illness. Our specialist teams focus on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), epilepsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromuscular diseases, movement disorders, stroke, and tumours.

We initiated a regional on-call stroke service to improve acute stroke care in Skåne and southern Sweden. This service aims to increase the number of patients with access to emergency thrombolysis and to identify more cases requiring advanced thrombectomy treatment.

Research

A range of clinical research projects is in progress, focusing on stroke, Parkinson’s, dementia, epilepsy, and inflammatory diseases.

We are responsible for the Lund Stroke Register, which monitors the prevalence of stroke in the community, examines risk factors, evaluates care, and analyses prognostic factors following a stroke. Our objective is to improve stroke prevention and develop better treatments for patients who have experienced a stroke.

In collaboration with Lund University, Kristianstad University, and the Parkinson’s Foundation, we also run the Swedish Parkinson Academy, which fosters interaction between basic and clinical research while supporting promising young researchers from various professional backgrounds.
