Research Institute of Neurology RAMS - the leading medical, clinical and scientific institution in Russia in the field of neuroscience. It treats the most complex diseases, helps patients with severe forms of hereditary diseases to get on their feet, studies and investigates brain activity, develops programs and new methods for the prevention of many diseases. The institute is a forge of medical personnel, highly qualified specialists come out of the institution, and existing doctors expand the circle of knowledge. Every patient who wants to receive qualified help can go to the clinic at the institute.
Activities
Research Institute of Neurology RAMS was founded in 1945. The base for creating a new direction of scientific, research and applied activity was the clinic of nervous diseases, which belonged to the A. Gorky All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine. The first institution was called the Research Institute of Neurology of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, the place of accommodation was the building on Shchipok Street.
For a sixty-year period of successful activity, the Institute has been a leading medical center for the treatment of neurology and the study of neurodiseases.
To date, the main achievements are:
- Development of a system of measures to combat the epidemics of encephalitis and poliomyelitis.
- Employees of the Research Institute of Neurology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences have developed a new medical field - neuroresuscitation, the scope of which is the development of methods for treating certain nervous diseases, research and the practice of using therapy. Also, the first devices for artificial ventilation of the lungs in Russia were created.
- A stroke register has been created, which has become the basis for the system of step-by-step care for stroke patients developed and successfully put into practice by many medical centers.
- For employees of the metallurgical industry, a concept was developed to identify the first signs of insufficient blood supply to the brain, and an targeted disease prevention program appeared.
- New criteria for determining brain death are established, which is an important event for transplantology.
- Improved and received a wider scope of operation using the method of Professor E.I. Chandelier. A neurosurgical complex, called the “Kandel-Peresedov Apparatus,” was created.
- New methods of treatment and surgical intervention have been tested for many complex diseases.

Reviews
More than a million patients turned to the Research Institute of Neurology RAMS ( Moscow). Reviews with positive ratings tell about the highly qualified specialists, excellent equipment of the clinic. In most cases, patients were consulted at the institute for a serious illness or a long period of treatment with other medical institutions, where the diagnosis and treatment were incorrect. The result was an advanced state of the disease. Many patients indicated that only in the neurological center at the research institute they were diagnosed correctly, underwent full treatment and were given the opportunity to undergo rehabilitation. It is noted that patients are treated with care, assistance is provided quickly and qualified.
Not all appeals were successful, some patients were unsatisfied with the result of the appeal at the Research Institute of Neurology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. Reviews with negative ratings indicate some rudeness of the staff, the need to expect a long queue at the doctor’s office, despite the presence of a coupon with the exact time indicated. Also, patients complain about doctors who could not establish a diagnosis and did not prescribe any additional studies.
There are no ideal medical centers, if you consider the total number of reviews about the Research Institute of Neurology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, then there are much more grateful reviews. Patients left words of gratitude to the doctors, whose help and knowledge restored the health and normal life of hundreds of people who applied.
