Dr. Tarek Ali, Acting President of Beni Suef University, announced today a new medical achievement added to the record of continuous successes at the university hospitals through the establishment of a specialized therapeutic service unit using the latest global technologies in the treatment of nervous system disorders. This has been achieved through the introduction of the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) device and the Neurofeedback device for the first time in Upper Egypt.
This comes under the supervision of Dr. Hany Hamed, Dr. Emad El Banna, and Dr. Rehab Hassan El Anwar.
Dr. Tarek Ali affirmed that the establishment of this unit represents an important step within the framework of the university’s keenness to develop the healthcare system and provide integrated and advanced medical services. He pointed out that introducing the latest international technologies in treating nervous system disorders reflects the university’s direction toward keeping pace with development in the health sector and serving the people of the governorate and Upper Egypt, especially through the use of advanced techniques such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Neurofeedback.
For his part, Dr. Hany Hamed explained that launching this unit represents a qualitative leap in providing specialized therapeutic services, especially in the field of nervous system disorders. He confirmed that the TMS device is one of the modern technologies that works to stimulate the nervous system using precise magnetic pulses, contributing to improving motor performance for patients with strokes, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, in addition to its role in treating chronic depression cases.
Dr. Emad El Banna pointed out that the hospitals are keen to support different medical departments with the latest devices and technologies. He noted that the TMS device has been applied to more than 20 medical cases, with results showing noticeable improvement in patients’ health conditions, under the supervision of a specialized medical team that includes Dr. Marwa Abdel Salam, reflecting the efficiency of the medical teams within the hospitals.
It is worth noting that the introduction of the Neurofeedback device, which relies on neural feedback stimulation technology, contributes to improving working memory, which is an essential element in thinking, learning, and information processing. Research studies were conducted using the device on approximately 30 cases of patients with multiple sclerosis and attention deficit disorders under the supervision of a specialized medical team that includes Associate Professor Dr. Mostafa Mohamed El Khouly and Assistant Lecturer Dalia Gamal. The results demonstrated clear improvement in patients’ cognitive and concentration abilities.
The hospital administration also extended sincere thanks and appreciation to Dr. Hanan Hosny Abdel Aleem in recognition of her distinguished efforts in establishing the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, laying the first foundations for its development, and extending sincere appreciation to all medical teams and staff members of the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology. Their dedicated efforts in developing therapeutic services and raising the level of healthcare provided to patients reflect the pioneering role of the university hospitals in serving the community.
