Top 10 hospitals for neurology and neuromuscular procedures
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide suffer from neurological disorders—conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. In the U.S., some of the most burdensome include stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and migraine.
While some neurological diseases have no cure, many can be managed with early diagnosis and evidence-based treatment, like drug therapies. For healthcare organizations and businesses serving this market, understanding where neurology and neuromuscular procedures are performed can reveal key opportunities for growth, partnerships, and outreach.
Using Definitive Healthcare’s Atlas All-Payor Claims data, we’ve identified the top 20 hospitals for neurology and neuromuscular procedures in 2024, ranked by their share of total outpatient procedures. Since common tests like polysomnography (sleep study) and electroencephalogram (EEG) are primarily performed in outpatient settings, these rankings reveal key areas of care demand and innovation.

- Clinical neurophysiology
- Neurodevelopment disabilities
- Vascular neurology
- Child neurology
- Pain medicine
- Hospice and palliative medicine
- Sleep medicine
- Endovascular surgical neuroradiology
- Neuromuscular medicine
