About Prof. Dr. med. Stefanie Behnke

Prof. Dr. med. Stefanie Behnke advocates for a modern and holistic approach to neurology, in which innovative medicine and individualized patient care are closely intertwined. As Chief of Neurology at the Knappschaft Clinics in Sulzbach, she has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. Her areas of specialization include the treatment of strokes, Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia. Patients benefit from guideline-based therapy grounded in the latest scientific findings.

A particular focus of the neurology clinic is the treatment of neuroimmunological conditions. In collaboration with the directors of the certified MS Center, Dr. Jasmin Naumann and Dr. Karsten Kern, all modern therapeutic methods are employed. The necessary imaging (MRI, CT) and electrophysiological (evoked potentials, electroneurography and electromyography, EEG) examinations enable precise diagnosis of diseases of the brain, nerves, and muscles and form an important basis for individually tailored treatment plans. Close interdisciplinary collaboration within the clinic ensures comprehensive, high-quality neurological care.

The neurology department at Knappschaft Kliniken Sulzbach also features a modern stroke unit for the specialized care of stroke patients. Prof. Dr. med. Stefanie Behnke is recognized as an experienced expert, particularly in the field of stroke medicine. The goal of treatment is to detect neurological deficits early and to initiate appropriate therapeutic measures as quickly as possibleto minimize long-term damage and improve quality of life in the long term. During the neurovascular consultation, stroke risk factors are specifically assessed, and patients receive personalized advice regarding appropriate treatments.
