For many patients and families living with neurological conditions, seeking advanced treatment often comes with uncertainty and questions.
Is neuromodulation safe?
Will I need surgery?
Can treatment continue at home?
Do I still need to travel to Cyprus?
This June, the SOZO Brain Center multidisciplinary team will be in Vienna from June 15–19 through the International Patients Initiative, giving patients across Austria, Europe and around the globe, access to advanced neuromodulation therapies closer to home.
To help patients better understand the process, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive from international patients interested in neuromodulation treatment.
What Is Neuromodulation Therapy?
Neuromodulation is a non-invasive approach designed to influence nervous system activity through targeted stimulation techniques.
At SOZO Brain Center, treatment plans may include technologies such as:
- tDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation)
- TPS (Transcranial Pulse Stimulation)
- CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation)
- taVNS and other neuromodulation methods
These therapies are designed to support neurological function without surgery, implants, or general anesthesia.
Is Neuromodulation Safe?
According to SOZO Brain Center, non-invasive neuromodulation therapies have a well-established safety profile supported by decades of clinical research.
The most commonly reported side effects are mild and temporary, including:
- slight tingling sensations
- mild fatigue
- temporary skin redness
- light headaches after sessions
All treatments are monitored closely by trained specialists and adjusted according to each patient’s response.
Can Neuromodulation Help with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Dementia?
SOZO emphasizes that neuromodulation is not presented as a cure for progressive neurological diseases. However, treatment goals may include:
- supporting neurological function
- slowing functional decline
- improving mobility and cognition
- reducing symptom severity
- enhancing quality of life
For many patients, these improvements can make a meaningful difference in daily life and independence.
How Can I Book a Consultation in Vienna?
Patients interested in the Vienna consultations between June 15–19 can begin by contacting the SOZO International Patients team through the consultation form on the SOZO website.
The process includes:
- Submitting a consultation request here
- Sharing medical history and reports with our International Patient Management Team
- Receiving consultation information and next steps from the team
Because consultation availability is limited, early booking is strongly recommended.
What Happens During the Consultation?
The first stage of treatment focuses on a comprehensive neurological evaluation.
Depending on the patient’s condition, this may include:
- medical history review
- neurophysiological testing
- brain mapping
- neurological assessments
- clinical questionnaires and scales
Following the evaluation, the team develops a personalized neuromodulation treatment strategy tailored to the patient’s needs.
Will I Receive the Same Quality of Care in Vienna as in Cyprus?
Yes!!!
SOZO states that international patients evaluated through partner clinics receive the same:
- clinical protocols
- neuromodulation approaches
- multidisciplinary evaluation process
- treatment philosophy used at the SOZO Brain Center in Cyprus
The consultations in Vienna are led directly by Petros Kattou, Chief Neuromodulation Officer and the SOZO multidisciplinary team.

Do I Need to Travel Repeatedly for Treatment?
Not necessarily.
One of the key principles of the SOZO treatment model is continuity of care through home neuromodulation programs. Following the in-clinic sessions, patients are trained to continue their treatment independently at home with ongoing guidance from the SOZO team.
This allows patients to maintain their treatment progress without continuous international travel..
