Get up to date on the latest methodologies and protocols to intervene the child patient with Epilepsy through this Practical Training”

In little more than a decade, the techniques for Neurophysiological Diagnosis and Treatment have experienced exponential growth. Research in this medical area has brought with it complex methods and equipment such as the exploitation of the autonomic nervous system or the visual pathway, the use of video-electroencephalograms, invasive recordings, prolonged monitoring or electromyography of specific regions. In turn, Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring technologies have become indispensable in most surgical units of medical centers.

Based on this scenario, TECH has created a first level Practical Training in which the medical professional will be updated on the latest developments for the monitoring of the brain's electrical activity and the most innovative procedures for the detection of neuromuscular diseases. On the other hand, you will be up to date on the latest clinical and instrumental approach protocols for sleep disorders. He will also delve into Neuromodulation for therapeutic purposes.

This learning process will take place through a face-to-face and 100% practical stay in state-of-the-art medical centers. In these facilities, the neurologist will work alongside experts known internationally for their mastery of the most complex procedures in this scientific field. These professionals will monitor the physician's progress and introduce them to the care of real cases using advanced instrumentation and modern techniques. The training will be extended for 3 intensive weeks, Monday through Friday, in 8-hour days.

Enjoy an intensive 3-week internship at a prestigious center and update yourself on the latest clinical procedures in order to grow professionally"

During the face-to-face stay that corresponds to this Practical Training, the physician will be hosted for 3 weeks in a first level hospital center. At this institution, they will complete 8-hour working days, from Monday to Friday, together with the most distinguished professionals in the field of Neurophysiology. Together with them, they will handle complex and up-to-date equipment, offering high-level diagnostics and treatments to patients affected by various neurological pathologies.

In this completely practical training proposal, the activities are aimed at developing and perfecting the skills necessary for the provision of Oral Medicine in the area of dentistry, and which are oriented toward specific practical training in the area and in a real environment with the guidance of highly prestigious professionals.

In addition, this program is a unique opportunity to be updated on the latest neurophysiological procedures by a renowned expert. Therefore, through the figure of the assistant tutor, the neurologist will broaden his skills and specialize, even more, in Neurophysiology techniques, among which the innovative methodologies for the detection of disorders in the field of Neurolaryngology by means of Electromyography stand out.

The practical education will be carried out with the active participation of the student performing the activities and procedures of each area of competence (learning to learn and learning to do), with the accompaniment and guidance of teachers and other fellow trainees that facilitate teamwork and multidisciplinary integration as transversal competencies for Current the neurophysiological practice(learning to be and learning to relate).

The procedures described below will form the basis of the practical part of the internship, and their implementation is subject to both the suitability of the patients and the availability of the center and its workload, with the proposed activities being as follows: 

Precision neurophysiological techniques for monitoring electrical activity of the brain

• Implement routine stimulation maneuvers for the adult or infant brain undergoing EEG, including eye closure and opening and intermittent brightness
• Applying unusual procedures for activation of brain electricity through sleep 
• Detect signs of Electroclinical Syndromes, with emphasis on Epilepsy, of the neonate and infant by means of EEG
• EEG and Video-EEG monitoring of patients in Intensive Care Units and comatose patients 

Neurophysiological Techniques in the Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Diseases 

• Apply Electromyography (EMG) to diagnose nerve and muscle disorders, as well as spinal nerve root compression
• Perform neurophysiological studies of the facial and trigeminal nerves through EMG
• Examine the nerve response of upper and lower limbs from Neuromuscular Ultrasound
• Use percutaneous interventional techniques for neuromuscular conditions
• Identify Myasthenia Gravis from EMG and nerve conduction studies

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (NIM) Applications 

• Surgical intervention of tumors located in the nervous system (medulla, nerves, brain) through MNI
• Perform function mapping to determine the location of eloquent brain areas and avoid them during surgery
• To explore intraoperative language functioning during brain lesionectomies
• Apply NIM protocols for spinal cord, lumbar spine, sacral and vascular procedures

Clinical e Instrumental Diagnosis of Sleep Disorders 

• Detect Hypersomnias by multiple sleep latency test 
• Intervening narcolepsy using Polysomnograms 
• Evaluate parasomnias and insomnia by EEG and Polysomnograms
• Movement Disorder Evaluation during Sleep 

Neurophysiological Techniques for Therapeutic Purposes: Invasive and NonInvasive Neuromodulation 

• Prevent neuralgia or numbness in the arms or legs by invasive neuromodulation
• Apply the VNS in Treating Epilepsy and Other Indications 
• Botulinum Toxin Use: Cervical dystonia, Blepharospasm, Facial Myokymia, Oromandibular Dystonia, Upper Limb and Trunk Dystonia
• Perform Botulinum Toxin Infiltration Non-invasive with Guidance by Neurophysiological Techniques
