Pain Therapy – Neurological Pain Diagnosis and Treatment
Pain Therapy at Neuro Praxis Düsseldorf
Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons for seeking neurological care. Many patients suffer from persistent symptoms for years without receiving a clear explanation for the underlying cause.
At Neuro Praxis Düsseldorf, we follow a simple principle:
The best pain therapy begins with a thorough diagnosis.
Our goal is not merely to reduce pain, but to understand the neurological mechanisms causing your symptoms and address them in a targeted and scientifically sound manner.
Which Types of Pain Do We Treat?
We diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological pain disorders, including:
- Migraine and other headache disorders
- Tension-type headaches
- Neuropathic pain (nerve pain)
- Polyneuropathy
- Small Fiber Neuropathy
- Pain associated with disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
- Pain related to Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Nerve pain caused by disc herniation
- Radicular pain (nerve root irritation)
- Neurologically related neck and back pain
- Burning, tingling, and electric shock-like sensations
- Complex chronic pain syndromes with neurological involvement
Why a Thorough Diagnostic Evaluation Is Essential
Pain is not a diagnosis—it is a symptom.
Many chronic pain conditions are caused by disorders of the nervous system. The underlying problem may involve peripheral nerves, small nerve fibers, the spinal cord, the brain, or the autonomic nervous system.
For this reason, pain management in our practice always begins with a structured neurological assessment.
Depending on your individual situation, this may include:
- Comprehensive medical history (anamnesis)
- Detailed neurological examination
- Review of previous medical records and test results
- Neurophysiological testing
- Nerve conduction studies (NCS/ENG)
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Small Fiber Neuropathy diagnostics
- Autonomic function testing
- Ultrasound examinations
- Additional specialized neurological investigations
Only after the underlying cause has been carefully evaluated do we develop an individualized treatment plan.
Individualized Pain Therapy Instead of One-Size-Fits-All Solutions
Every patient experiences pain differently. Therefore, there is no universal treatment approach.
Depending on the underlying diagnosis, treatment options may include:
- Evidence-based pharmacological therapy
- Treatment of neuropathic pain
- Migraine and headache management
- Therapy for autonomic nervous system disorders
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Exercise and activity-based interventions
- Lifestyle modifications
- Interdisciplinary collaboration with other medical specialties
- Referral to specialized pain centers when appropriate
Pain Therapy for Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System
A particular focus of our practice is the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).
Many patients with conditions such as:
- POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
- Small Fiber Neuropathy
- Dysautonomia
- ME/CFS
- Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and other hypermobility disorders
experience significant pain that is often poorly understood or insufficiently treated.
Through our specialized diagnostic approach, we are frequently able to identify connections between pain, autonomic dysfunction, and neurological abnormalities, allowing for more targeted treatment strategies.
Our Goal: Improving Quality of Life
For us, successful pain therapy means much more than simply reducing pain intensity.
Our aim is to help improve:
- Physical function and endurance
- Daily activities and participation in life
- Sleep quality
- Cognitive performance and concentration
- Overall quality of life
