Treatment Program Structure
CIREN's assistance program combines a comprehensive evaluation week with personalized intensive neuro-restorative treatment cycles, with optional advanced therapies.
Evaluation Followed by Intensive Treatment
Every international patient at CIREN follows the same structured path: a first week of comprehensive evaluation, followed by personalized intensive neuro-restorative treatment delivered in continuous four-week cycles. Each phase has a clear clinical objective.
Evaluation Week
Diagnostic confirmation and definition of therapeutic possibilities. All necessary studies, lodging, medical assistance, and nursing are included.
- Comprehensive neurological and clinical assessment
- Neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and laboratory studies
- Definition of the individualized treatment plan
Intensive Treatment Cycles
Personalized, multifactorial intensive neuro-restorative treatment. Each cycle has its own specific objectives, building progressively on the previous one.
- Intensive neuro-rehabilitation, 7 hours daily in two sections
- Monday to Friday full days, Saturday half day
- Cycle objectives tailored to the individual patient
What the Program Includes
CIREN's treatment program draws on three distinct categories of therapy. Understanding the difference helps clarify which treatments are standard neurological care, which are Cuban biomedical developments, and which form CIREN's core restorative approach.
Standard Neurological Medicines
Conventional pharmacological treatments prescribed according to international clinical guidelines for neurological conditions. These are widely used medications, not specific to CIREN.
- Levodopa and dopamine agonists for Parkinson’s disease
- Cholinesterase inhibitors for Alzheimer’s disease
- Antiepileptic drugs for seizure management
- Anticoagulants and antiplatelets for stroke prevention
Cuban-Developed Treatments
Biomedical therapies developed in Cuba and available at CIREN as part of its treatment programs. These are unique Cuban innovations, distinct from standard international medications.
- NeuralCIM® (NeuroEPO) — intranasal neuroprotective therapy
- Developed for neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
- Specialists recommend treatment with 12 bulbs per month
- Prescribed when clinically indicated by the specialist team
Additional cost per bulb. Availability for international patients is limited, confirm well in advance with the Coordination Desk.
Rehabilitation & Restorative Therapies
The core of CIREN's restorative approach: intensive, multidisciplinary neuro-rehabilitation delivered in structured cycles, combined with non-invasive brain stimulation when indicated.
- Intensive physical and occupational therapy
- Cognitive and neuropsychological rehabilitation
- Speech and language therapy
- Non-invasive brain stimulation (NCIS) — 15 to 30 sessions recommended
NCIS is available at additional cost per session when clinically indicated.
Standard neurological medicines are prescribed per international guidelines and are not CIREN-specific treatments. Cuban-developed treatments and rehabilitation therapies form the distinctive elements of CIREN's program. Your individualized plan is defined during the evaluation week.
What Is Included
The following services are included in both the evaluation week and the treatment cycles.
Three Meals Daily
Three meals per day are provided for the patient throughout the program.
Accompanying Companion
A companion is obligatory and is included in the program, sharing the room with the patient.
Medical & Nursing Care
Medical assistance and nursing support are included throughout the stay.
CIREN's rates are official and not modifiable. The total amount is confirmed by the Coordination Desk based on the individual treatment plan defined during the evaluation week.
Payment
Payment at CIREN is made in advance. The Coordination Desk will confirm the total amount based on your individualized treatment plan after the evaluation week.
