Neurological Restoration
Experience innovative medical treatments in Cuba with Neurological Restoration, a personalized approach assigning dedicated therapists at La Pradera and CIREN. For over 30 years, Cuba has led in neuro-restorative technology, focusing on neuroplasticity for personalized recovery. This treatment addresses acute injuries’ after-effects and chronic diseases in the nervous system, offering a comprehensive approach.
Neurological treatment involves a meticulous diagnosis of the extent of damage to organs and organ systems resulting from trauma and neurological disorders. Comprehensive examinations help identify the underlying causes leading to neurological injuries. Conditions such as heart disease, arrhythmia, thrombosis, embolism of blood vessels, developmental anomalies of the brain’s blood vessels, blood clotting disorders, and hematological diseases can contribute to the development of strokes. Eliminating the cause of neurological damage offers patients good prospects for success in rehabilitation programs.
After addressing the disease’s cause, a personalized rehabilitation program is developed with contributions from specialists in various medical fields, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, vascular surgeons, internal medicine specialists, physiotherapists, kinesiotherapists, and more. This collaborative effort ensures the formulation of an optimal rehabilitation program.
The main neurological diseases for which care is provided are:
- Epilepsy
- Skull-brain trauma
- Neuromuscular and sclerotic conditions
- Disorders related to brain aging
- Neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease)
- Tumors of the central nervous system
- After-effects of cerebral anoxia
- Infantile cerebral paralysis
- Neuromuscular and peripheral nerve disorders
- Strokes, head and spinal cord injuries
Program for People with Alzheimer's
Aging leads to an increase in degenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s, as the most common of dementias, triggers a series of needs that today’s society has to face. The La Pradera International Health Center offers a quality-of-life program headed by a clinical specialist and other related professionals, in an environment that combines nature, tranquility and the comfort of hotel services, allowing an improvement in the health status of these patients.

Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative brain condition associated with motor symptoms (slowness of movement, tremors, rigidity, and imbalance) and other complications, such as cognitive impairment, mental disorders, sleep and pain disorders and sensory disturbances. Those who suffer from it have an opportunity for medical treatment in Cuba.
Cuban researchers have developed a technique to implant live nervous cells deep into the brain that significantly improves the quality of life of patients Parkinson’s disease. Doctor Julián Alvarez Blanco, Director of the International Center for Neurological Restoration (CIREN), explains that this achievement in Cuban medicine was made due to development of a cutting-edge surgical procedure called stereotaxic surgery (or minimal access surgery), together with the newest techniques of computerized brain mapping and superficial and deep registers of the brain’s electrical activity.
Cuba has more than 10 years of experience in neurotransplantation, there is great experience in performing stereotaxic surgical procedures (pallidotomy, thalamotomy), with more than 200 surgeries performed on people with movement disorders, with a high rate of effectiveness and tolerance.
Patients to be submitted to these surgical treatments must be selected considering several factors such as: stage of the disease, disabling symptoms, response to pharmacological treatment, age, etc. All cases must first be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team of specialists to determine whether they have criteria for treatment, and then they will be evaluated during the first week to define the most appropriate therapeutic conduct. It is an essential requirement that patients travel with a companion.
Pharmacological and surgical treatments mitigate the symptoms of the disease. In addition, patients partially recover their functions and significantly improve their quality of life through rehabilitation therapies.
Neurological Restoration Program at CIREN
The International Center for Neurological Restoration (CIREN) is a leading medical and scientific institution dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients with nervous system injuries or diseases. Using innovative, multifactorial, and intensive methods to stimulate neuroplasticity, CIREN offers comprehensive care through two major therapeutic programs:
- General Biological Restoration Program (Rebioger)
- Neurological Restoration Program
The Neurological Restoration Program combines pharmacological, surgical, and neuro-restoration methods to compensate for existing neurological alterations and stimulate the recovery of damaged or diseased nervous system activity. This approach benefits patients affected by acute injuries or chronic neurological conditions.
For parkinsonian-type manifestations and other neurodegenerative diseases, CIREN’s Clinic for Movement Disorders and Neurodegenerative Diseases specializes in diagnosis, evaluation, prognosis, and treatment. By developing combined treatments that enhance their effects through simultaneous and harmonious use, the clinic optimizes symptom control and manages evolutionary complications effectively.
The Neurological Restoration Program at CIREN is designed to enhance the quality of life for patients with neurological conditions. The program is structured in two comprehensive stages:
- Comprehensive Evaluation
This initial stage involves confirming or modifying the diagnosis, assessing aggravating factors and the patient’s evolutionary profile, and individualizing the patient’s functional commitment. A multidisciplinary team of specialists uses this information to design a personalized therapeutic strategy. Concrete objectives are set based on the patient’s capabilities and the team’s accumulated experience.
The price is $3994.00 USD and includes all the necessary studies, lodging, medical assistance, and nursery.
The package includes:
- Highly specialized neurological and clinical medical care (consultations, evaluation of studies)
- Clinical examinations
- Neurological examinations
- Neuropsychological examinations
- Comprehensive psychomotor examination (LEIS)
- Clinical laboratory tests
- Electrophysiological studies
- Personalized design of the therapeutic program
- Hospitalization and feeding of the patient for 7 days.
- Accommodation and meals for one accompanying person.
- Personalized and Intensive Treatment
Following the evaluation, patients undergo a 4-week (28 days) intensive treatment cycle from Monday to Friday, with half-day sessions on Saturday. This stage includes:
- Adjustment of the pharmacological scheme
- Implementation of hygienic-dietary measures
- Specialized and multidisciplinary motor training
- Training for posture, gait, and balance
- Development of manipulative skills
- Language training and learning techniques
- Specific purpose training systems
The price is $8,912 USD and includes the intensive neuro – rehabilitation which is done for 7 hours daily, in two sections, from Monday to Friday and half day on Saturdays.
In both rates (evaluation week and treatment), three meals per day for patient are included. A companion (which is obligatory) is included in the budget provided with lodging sharing the room with the patient.
Total amount to be paid: $12,906 USD.
Additionally, the program addresses sleep disorders, appetite issues, blood pressure, and other autonomic or mental disorders often associated with disease progression or medication side effects. If necessary, patients may also undergo stereotactic functional surgery to further enhance motor skills and functional independence.
This comprehensive care program, developed and validated over 30 years, has achieved high recovery rates and significant improvements in quality of life, thanks to the expertise and dedication of a qualified team.
