Moderator: Simone Vigneri (Bologna, Italy)
Guest: Marshall Devor (Jerusalem, Israel)
This episode explores the complex clinical features and neurobiology of phantom limb pain, highlighting key mechanisms such as maladaptive plasticity, ectopic discharges, and cortical reorganization. Prof. Marshall Devor shares expert insights into current challenges and future directions in the management of this uniquely human neuropathic pain condition.
Moderator: Katarina Rukavina (Berlin, Germany)
Guest: Keela Herr (Iowa City, USA)
How do we recognize and manage pain in people with dementia? In this episode of EAN Cast: Weekly Neurology, Katarina Rukavina hosts Keela Herr and they talk about the impact of pain on people living with dementia, strategies for its assessment and management, and how healthcare professionals can work together with family members and carers to ensure holistic care.
EAN moderator: Anna K. Szewczyk (Lublin, Poland)
Guest:Grazia Devigili (Milan, Italy)
Anna K. Szewczyk and Grazia Devigili discuss Small fiber neuropathy (SFN), a broad group of conditions affecting small nerve fibers (Aδ or C). SFN is characterized by impaired pain and temperature sensation, as well as autonomic dysfunction. Its diagnosis and treatment are challenging, though recent findings on specific autoantibodies and ion channel polymorphisms offer new perspectives for understanding these forms and developing more targeted therapies.
Moderators and guests: Barbara Tettenborn (Bern, Switzerland) and Roberta Balestrino (Milan, Italy)
Barbara Tettenborn and Roberta Balestrino discuss the journey of the EAN e-learning platform, eanCampus. Launched in 2022, the platform has transformed neurology education by aligning with European Training Requirements for Neurology and offering comprehensive content for all levels of experience. Discover how interactive modules, gamification, and a commitment to high-quality, peer-reviewed material have made the eanCampus a vital resource for neurologists worldwide.
Moderator: Tobias Cronberg (Lund, Sweden)
Guest: Andrea Rossetti (Lausanne, Switzerland)
In this episode, Cronberg speaks with Rossetti about the role of EEG in the neuro ICU, with a focus on prognostication and monitoring in critically ill patients. They explore clinical applications, organizational differences across countries, and the value—and limitations—of continuous EEG, spot EEG, and emerging AI tools.
Moderator: Marian Galovic (Zurich, Switzerland)
Guest: Federico Semeraro (Bologna, Italy)
In this episode, Galovic speaks with Semeraro about how artificial intelligence is transforming cardiac arrest care and neuroprognostication. From retrospective studies to future clinical applications, they explore the potential and ethical challenges of integrating AI as a supportive team member in neurocritical care.
Moderator: Irina Vlad (Cluj Napoca, Romania)
Guests: Nils Erik Gilhus (Bergen, Norway), Henriette Szabó Mathe
(Brussels, Belgium)
EAN Moderator: Thomas Berger (Vienna, Austria)
Guest: Tobias Cronberg (Lund, Sweden)
In this episode, Cronberg joins Berger to discuss the evolving role of hypothermia in neurointensive care, particularly after cardiac arrest. Drawing from large clinical trials and real-world cases, they explore why hypothermia is falling out of favour and what this means for neurologists and emergency care.
Moderator: Roberta Balestrino (Milan, Italy)
Guest: Richard Dodel (Essen, Germany)
A video version of this episode is available on the eanCampus.
In this episode, Dodel joins Balestrino to explore the social and economic burden of neurological disorders, highlighting findings from the EAN-led COIN (Cost of Illness in Neurology) project. They discuss why diseases like headaches and multiple sclerosis carry some of the highest costs and what this means for healthcare systems across Europe.
Moderator: Marian Galovic (Zurich, Switzerland)
Guest: Max Hilz (Erlangen, Germany)
A video version of this episode is available on the eanCampus.
In this episode, Galovic welcomes Hilz to discuss the science behind autogenic training, a self-guided relaxation technique rooted in neurophysiology. Hilz explains how it helps regulate autonomic function, reduce stress, and support patients with neurological and functional disorders.
Moderator: Barbara Tettenborn (St. Gallen, Switzerland)
Guest: Aviv Weinstein (Ariel, Israel)
A video version of this episode is available on the eanCampus.
In this second July episode of eanCast, Tettenborn and Weinstein explore the cognitive and emotional impact of excessive smartphone and social media use—especially in children and adolescents.

In this episode Tessitore and Morgante discuss the diagnosis, causes, and management of tardive dyskinesia, highlighting its clinical features, treatment strategies, and the importance of awareness among neurologists. The conversation emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and the need for early recognition to improve patient outcomes.
This podcast episode is supported by an independent educational grant from Teva.
In this episode, Accorroni is joined by Midelfart-Hoff and Fiorillo, who share their personal experiences with burnout as senior neurologists and discuss long-term strategies for resilience. Together, they reflect on how attitudes toward mental health in medicine have changed over the past 20 years, emphasizing why both individual contributions and systemic support are essential for transforming the culture around clinicians' well-being and building sustainable careers in neurology.
In this episode of eanCast Vashchenko, Boon and Accorroni discuss evidence-based strategies to prevent physician burnout — both individually and institutionally. Accoroni and Boon, share insights from both early-career and leadership perspectives on promoting wellbeing in neurology.
In this episode González Martinez together with Toscano and Toparlak explores how collaboration between neurology and psychiatry helps combat clinician burnout, highlighting insights from the EAN Task Force on Wellbeing and the EPA, with discussions on mental health challenges, interdisciplinary solutions, and the role of technology.
In this episode, Accorroni, Grneva, and de Visser explore burnout in neurology through real-life stories and insights. They discuss its impact across career stages, key causes like workload and gender inequality, and share strategies for individual and systemic change—highlighting the need for a cultural shift in the profession.
In this thought-provoking episode di Liberto is joined by Cuffaro and Gurrea Salas as they explore the complex question: Is burnout a mental disorder? and bring cross-disciplinary insights from their respective fields. Together, they unpack the neurological and psychological dimensions of burnout, its clinical recognition, and what it means for diagnosis and treatment.
