Pediatric Medical Clinical Research Team

The Center for Research and Telemedicine in Children's Neurological Diseases will allow:
- increasing the quality and level of research, diagnostic and treatment capacity in pediatric neurology;
- decrease in infant mortality and morbidity caused by neurological conditions;
- improving the health of children;
- the promotion of new therapeutic standards in neurological conditions;
– stimulation of innovation in the pharmaceutical productive sector and in the medical sector as well as a contribution of private companies in research;
– increasing the competitiveness of SMEs and pharmaceutical companies that finance medical research programs by introducing and developing new methods of diagnosis and treatment in pediatric neurology;
– interdisciplinary cooperation for research activities in neurology (clinicians, pharmacologists, specialists in neuroradiology, genetics, neurology), but also in complementary transdisciplinary fields – nanotechnologies, artificial intelligence, intelligent user interfaces, IT);
– stimulating the professional training of young researchers and PhD students in fields of national and European interest;
– increasing the quality and diversification of the education process, as well as the modernization of the Sibiu Pediatric Clinical Hospital, in accordance with European trends.

Equipment:

within the Sibiu Pediatric Clinical Hospital, children with neurological conditions will benefit from modern and effective diagnostic tests, including:
  • Electroencephalography, both routine and awake, sleep EEG, long-term recordings and video EEG monitoring;
  • Responses evoked by the brainstem, auditory and visual in children with suspected hearing disorders or visual impairments;
  • Electromyography – nerve conduction velocity and electromyography for neuromuscular disorders;
  • Neuroradiology services, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), MR Spectroscopy (SRM) and f MRI;
  • Performance cardiorespiratory and genetic tests;
