Günther Deuschl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Günther Deuschl (born August 4, 1950 in Lahr / Black Forest ) is a German neurologist and senior professor at the Medical Faculty of the Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel (CAU). He researches neurological movement disorders, Parkinson's disease , tremors and the treatment method of deep brain stimulation .

Life

Günther Deuschl studied mathematics, geography, history and philosophy from 1969 to 1974 until he began studying medicine at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (LMU), which he completed in 1980 with a license to practice medicine and a doctorate (summa cum laude). He was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation . He received his training in experimental neurophysiology at the Institute for Neurophysiology of the LMU and his training as a neurologist at the Neurology Clinics of the Klinikum rechts der Isar in Munich and the University of Freiburg, which he graduated in 1988 with a specialist in neurology. At the same time he qualified as a professor in neurology and clinical neurophysiology. His scientific focus at that time was tremor and transcortical reflexes in humans. From 1986 he was head of the laboratories for clinical neurophysiology in Freiburg and in 1994 was appointed associate professor for neurology and clinical neurophysiology. In 1991 he worked at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, where he studied forms of tremor and electroencephalographic equivalents of will. He acquired special qualifications in intensive neurology, pain therapy, neurological laboratory medicine and geriatrics, electromyography, evoked potentials and electroencephalography .

In 1995 he was appointed full professor and director of the Clinic for Neurology at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel. There he and his team established a focus on the treatment of patients with movement disorders and Parkinson's. The first patient was treated in 1998 with deep brain stimulation . From 2004 to 2011 he was editor of the international journal Movement Disorders .

From 1993 to 1997 he was a board member of the German Society for Clinical Neurophysiology and from 1994 to 1998 of the International Federation of Societies for Clinical Neurophysiology. In 2006 he was elected President of the German Society for Neurology . From 2011 to 2013 he was President of the International Movement Disorder Society, the international society of Parkinson's specialists. From 2014 to 2018 he was founding president of the European Academy of Neurology, the society of all neurologists in Europe. Since 2000 he has been visiting professor at Zhejang University in Hangzhou and since 2014 at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. In 2015 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Academy of Sciences for his services to the development of neurology in Moldova. In 2016 he retired as director of the Department of Neurology at the University of Kiel. In 2018 he was appointed the first senior professor at Kiel University. He works scientifically at the Clinic for Neurology, is currently deputy spokesman for the SFB 1261 of the DFG, works in the EU's research consultancy in Brussels and is a visiting professor at the University of Zurich.

Scientific contribution

Since the beginning of his career, Deuschl has dealt with human movement disorders. As the head of an international consortium, he developed the first classification of the forms of tremor in humans in 1998, and its first revision in 2018. Another focus was deep brain stimulation as a treatment method for movement disorders. He led the world's first controlled study for the treatment of Parkinson's disease with deep brain stimulation, which has shown that it is more effective than drug treatment for the quality of life and mobility of suitable Parkinson's patients. He designed and directed the EARLYSTIM study, which showed that fluctuating Parkinson's patients benefit more from deep brain stimulation than from drug treatment even shortly after the onset of motor complications. He has been instrumental in numerous research groups that have contributed to the understanding of transient global amnesia, a reversible memory disorder, the treatment of dystonia and the redefinition of Parkinson's disease. He was in charge of drafting the German therapy guidelines for Parkinson's, dementia and tremor.
