RSD Specialists/clinics Germany
 

Hey Everone,

Im off to Germany Hannover on Monday to undergo further test on my persistan problem whic has been going on for just over 5 months now (Possibly RSD/Traped Nerve:confused:)

Would anyone reccommend any RSD specialist/clinics in Germany (preferably in the Hannover area)?

Thanks,

Nigel

Any help guys?

Been doing some reseach but its difficult to find the right person/place.

Have been reading that doctor Dr. Robert Schwartzman has a team in Germany who specialize on RSD. Does anyone know how I could get hold of them or if they are the right people to go to etc?

I really need to have a back up plan in mind once im travelling to Germany tomorrow. As in were to go to next if all tests are positive.

Thanks,

Nigel

Dr S is in Philadelphia, PA.
(He dx's me many years ago) and did some work with German docs.
He's either at Drexel University Hospital, or Hahnemann hospital.
I hope this points you in the right direction.

Many good wishes with your endeavor!
Let us know?

I am not sure if it was in Germany or Mexico but didn't one of the clinics where they did the coma treatment close or they were not doing it there anymore? I wonder why if so.

I believe it was Germany. A lady in her 40s passed away during the coma treatment which put the program on hold. Whether that is still the case or not I'm not sure.

I know a specialist
 

Hi I dont know the area you are seeking , however I do know the leading rsd expert in Germany is in Saarbuken, and his name is Dr. Rohr. If you need further information and can go to that area just let me know. He is Dr. schwartzman's collegue. cz

Yes, I have heard about him.

Im currently still in Germany and have till Sunday but would not like to return home before i am put on the right track.

How easily could i fix an appointment with him and does he put RSD patients on some kind of rehabilitation program and provided treatment options?

Really look forward to your reply,

Thanks,

Nigel

And by the way I am really desperate at the moment as my life has slipped away from me and really looking for a way to get back in the right direction:(

It is my understanding that the only reason that the coma treatment ended in Germany was because it was a "study" which any study is limited to a given number of people. Once they reached the number of people that were going to be in the study the research was closed for that particular study in Germany. That was when the new study began in Mexico. It is the same group of physicians conducting these studies to include Dr. Swartzman and Dr. Kirkpatrick. I have no idea if the German doctor is doing any outpatient Ketamine trials or not. A call to Dr. Swartzmans office in PN could most likely answer that question.

Good luck!
