Dr. Deniz Doğu

A 28-year-old competitive freediver presented with debilitating thoracic outlet syndrome that emerged only during deep dives below 30 meters. Dr. Doğu developed a novel protocol combining targeted botulinum toxin injections to specific scalene muscles with a custom breath-hold desensitization program. The patient returned to competition within 5 months, setting a national depth record.

A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with Parkinson's disease developed exquisite hand pain that destroyed his ability to create traditional artwork. Dr. Doğu implemented a combined approach of ultrasound-guided median nerve hydrodissection with a tailored medical cannabis regimen. The patient regained enough fine motor control to complete his final commissioned piece for a museum collection.

A 16-year-old refugee from a conflict zone presented with phantom limb pain following a traumatic below-knee amputation. She also suffered from severe nightmares. Dr. Doğu employed mirror therapy combined with a rare application of calcitonin nasal spray for neuropathic pain, while coordinating with a trauma psychologist. The patient's pain reduced by 80%, allowing her to use a prosthesis for the first time.

A 41-year-old underwater welder developed complex regional pain syndrome type II after a high-pressure nitrogen exposure incident. Dr. Doğu created a multi-modal protocol including lumbar sympathetic blocks, graded motor imagery, and a novel topical compound containing ketamine and capsaicin. The patient transitioned to a training supervisor role after 9 months of treatment.
