Dr. Imre Piroska

I obtained my medical degree from Semmelweis University of Medicine in 1988. Since 1989 I have worked continuously as a physician at Cholnoky Ferenc Hospital in Veszprém. I passed my board examination in neurology at the University Medical School of Pécs in 1993, and obtained a licence in vascular neurology in 2015.

My field covers the full range of nervous system disorders, with a particular focus on degenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonian syndromes), inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, dementia syndromes and headache. At the Department of Neurology and Stroke in Veszprém and its associated outpatient clinics (Cerebrovascular Clinic, Neuroimmunology Clinic, Parkinson’s Clinic, Headache Clinic), I work in acute patient care as well as in the related outpatient care and long-term follow-up.

Since 2001 I have taken part in numerous clinical trials, as principal investigator and investigator, in multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, diabetic polyneuropathy and ischaemic stroke, which have led to the development of new medicines. Together with my colleagues, I have prepared and delivered several presentations on rare conditions encountered in our practice. I regularly lecture at continuing education conferences and national congresses, and take part in specialist and GP training. I have co-authored numerous articles in Hungarian and international medical journals.
