Celal Salcini

Dr. Celal Salcini is a neurologist and epileptologist at NP Istanbul Brain Hospital. He specializes in electrophysiology, dementia, and movement disorders. He treats neurodegenerative diseases and chronic headaches. He speaks fluent English, Serbian, and Bosnian.

Specialization and Approach

Dr. Salcini diagnoses and treats central nervous system disorders. He uses neurophysiological tools such as Video-EEG monitoring and EEG to assess brain activity. He also uses transcranial direct current stimulation to treat psychiatric and neurological episodes. The doctor performs treatment for patients with the following conditions:

• Epilepsy and seizure disorders
• Multiple sclerosis
• Parkinson's disease
• Essential tremors
• Spinal pain and spinal cord diseases
• Dementia and neurodegenerative conditions

The specialist provides medication management and rehabilitation plans for patients with multiple sclerosis. He treats patients with Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease and Tumefactive MS. He has research interests in restless legs syndrome and cutaneous silent periods. Dr. Salcini performs these treatments to manage complex nerve and brain function.
