Research

The research group investigates the cerebral mechanisms that lead to acute impairment of consciousness and cognition, and what it takes to reverse these mechanisms.​

​Main areas of research  in the Copenhagen Neuromuscular Center​ involve muscle diseases, myasthenia gravis and neuropathies.​​

​​Linked to the Copenhagen Memory Clinic, The Danish Dementia Research Centre (DDRC) conducts clinical and translational research in dementia and neurogenetic cognitive disorders and houses a nationwide education and info-centre. 

​​The Danish Headache Center has an extensive research programme within mechanisms and treatment of migraine, cluster headache, tension-type headache, and trigeminal neuralgia.​

​Danish Multiple Sclerosis Center is the home of the largest multiple sclerosis clinic in Denmark and works with the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis and rare related disorders. The center has several research units, including the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Registry, the Clinic for Optic Neuritis, the Neuroimmunology Laboratory and clinical research units. 

​​The Neurobiology Research Unit conducts translational neuroscience research with the aim to promote preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic advances.​

​The Epilepsy Research Group study epilepsy from the first seizure to the development of drug-resistance and epilepsy surgery evaluation.  We study patients during the transition from youth to adulthood, problems that patients encounter in relation to cognition, mood and reproduction and factors involved in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. 

​The stroke research group at the Department of Neurology, Rigshospitalet, undertakes clinical research on the entire stroke   spectrum from epidemiology, prevention, acute treatment, mechanisms, diagnostic examinations,  neurorehabilitation and organization.
