On October 3–4, a scientific and practical conference with international participation, “Modern Advances in Pediatric Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine,” was held at the International Rehabilitation Clinic Kozyavkin in Truskavets.

The event brought together Ukrainian and international specialists—neurologists, pediatricians, rehabilitation physicians, researchers, and practitioners—who are jointly working to improve care for children with neurological disorders.

Over the two days, participants discussed a wide range of key topics in pediatric neurology and rehabilitation, including:

• neurological disorders in early childhood and modern approaches to diagnosis and rehabilitation;

• pediatrics in Ukraine during a period of transformation and the challenges of wartime;

• stress-induced disorders in children and mothers and new therapeutic approaches;

• epileptic encephalopathies, metabolic disorders, and other complex clinical conditions in the youngest patients;

• obstructive sleep apnea;

• research on the impact of spinal manipulation on heart rate variability in children with cerebral palsy;

• scientific consensus on the management of preterm infants with central nervous system damage, and many other areas.

The second day of the conference focused on practical work—case-based discussions and real clinical scenarios. During the sessions, specialists presented clinical examples, reviewed diagnostic algorithms, discussed a multidisciplinary approach, and shared practical rehabilitation outcomes. This format is particularly valuable for physicians, as real cases help build experience and support professional development.

The conference was also dedicated to the bright memory of Academician Volodymyr Kozyavkin—the founder of the Kozyavkin Method and a philosophy of child-centered rehabilitation based on belief in every patient’s potential, the strength of a team, and the power of science aimed at the common good.

Such meetings are more than an exchange of knowledge—they are a professional dialogue between science and practice, between generations of experience and modern innovation. It is in this environment that a new level of Ukrainian medicine is taking shape—open, collaborative, and focused on the child.
