Achievements of neurosurgeons of SamSMU were noted at the international congress

  A delegation of the specialized scientific and practical center of neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation of Samarkand State Medical University took part in the 1st congress of the "Kazakh Society of Neuromodulation", held in Almaty (Kazakhstan) on November 14-15, 2024.

  The field of neuromodulation arose at the end of the last century, having developed in Western countries. In recent years, neuromodulation has found application in medicine in Central Asia, including in our republic. In particular, in 2023, neuromodulation was first established at the specialized scientific and practical center for neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation at SamSMU, and over the past 10 months, more than 40 patients with Parkinson's disease have been implanted with brain stimulators, epilepsy patients have been given vagus nerve implants, and the center has also introduced high-tech modern surgeries, such as the installation of spinal electrodes for epilepsy patients. 

  The congress held in Almaty was attended by leading representatives of the field from different member countries of the World Neuromodulation Society, who presented their achievements. The report of the director of the scientific and practical center for neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation of SamSMU, associate professor M.A.Aliyev, on the results of neuromodulation in the Republic of Uzbekistan aroused great interest among the forum participants. According to the proposal presented at the congress by the president of the World Neuromodulation Society, Professor Konstantin Slavin, the creation of a neuromodulation society in Uzbekistan is planned for the near future.
