The team at the neurological clinic treats the entire spectrum of neurological diseases. In the rooms of our clinic, Prof. Dr. Dihne and his colleagues use most modern examination methods and treat patients according to the latest scientific standards. Through close interdisciplinary co-operation with the more than 15 specialist disciplines at Solingen Hospital, the Department of Neurology also guarantees comprehensive care for his patients.
The Department of Neurology is a nationally and internationally renowned centre of excellence for epilepsy, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease.
Our diagnostic services include EEG (electroencephalography), including LZ EEG and video EEG for the investigation of disorders of consciousness and the diagnosis of epileptic seizures, as well as transcranial Doppler sonography and duplex sonography to detect circulatory disorders of the brain. In addition, we specialise in the treatment of Parkinson’s patients, who are treated intensively for 1-3 weeks in our inpatient Parkinson’s complex treatment, as well as in neurological intensive care medicine for the treatment of severely damaged neurological patients. We also specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral neurological diseases such as polyneuropathies and botulinum toxin treatment. With these resources, we offer cutting-edge care for patients with neurological diseases.

From 2013 to November 2023, Professor Dihné successfully headed the Department of Neurology at the St. Lukas Klinik Solingen for 10 years, where he gained extensive and rich experience in the treatment of neurological diseases.
Professor Dihné is the author of numerous publications in leading German and European medical journals.
He holds a large number of additional certificates, including the DEGUM II certificate as an instructor in neurological ultrasound and the EEG certificate as an instructor at St. Luke’s Hospital, as well as a certificate in epileptology. Professor Dihné was awarded the Christian and Claudia Hempel Foundation Research Award for outstanding research in the field of clinical stem cell research.
Professor Dihné specialises in neurology, strokes, epilepsy, nervous system regeneration, stem cells and microelectrode arrays.
He completed his education at the Neurological University Hospital Tübingen and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research between 2011 and 2013, before that he studied at the Neurological University Hospital Düsseldorf from 2004 to 2011 and at the Centre for Molecular Neurobiology in Hamburg from 2001 to 2004. He started his scientific career at the University of Aachen.
