Dr. Runa Rhaman Oshiga
Clinical Experience and International Training
United Kingdom and Vienna
After several years of medical practice in the United Kingdom, Dr. Rahman-Oshiga returned to Vienna in 2015. She initially worked as a locum physician in a general practice before becoming a ward physician at Haus der Barmherzigkeit.
During this time, she gained extensive experience in geriatrics and gerontopsychiatry. Caring for seriously ill patients and their families had a lasting influence on her medical approach and deepened her understanding of the complex physical and emotional dimensions of illness.
Integrative and Functional Medicine
Over the course of her professional development, Dr. Rahman-Oshiga became increasingly aware that many chronic conditions are often inadequately treated with purely symptom-oriented therapies.
She therefore began to engage intensively with functional medicine, an approach that focuses on the root causes of complex diseases and the interactions between different body systems.
Her particular areas of interest include:
- Gut health and the microbiome
- Environmental and toxin exposure
- The immune system and chronic inflammatory processes
- Chronic infections
- Systemic connections in complex diseases
Specialization in Palliative Medicine
A particular focus of her medical work developed in palliative medicine. Dr. Rahman-Oshiga completed several specialized diploma courses in this field.
She subsequently worked at CS Hospiz Rennweg, both on the palliative care ward and with the mobile palliative care team, supporting patients and their families through very sensitive stages of life.
This work has significantly shaped her approach to medicine: for her, the person behind the diagnosis always remains the focus.
Focus on Neuromodulation
Another central focus of her work is neuromodulation, an innovative medical field that specifically supports the regulation of the nervous system and can promote neuroplastic processes.
Dr. Rahman-Oshiga has been a SOZO Fellow for Neuromodulation since 2024 and is currently also completing a master's program in neuromodulation.
These methods open up new therapeutic possibilities, particularly for chronic neurological and functional disorders.
Therapeutic Approach
Drawing on her international training and clinical experience, Dr. Rahman-Oshiga has developed an individualized treatment approach that combines several modern forms of therapy.
These include:
- Neuromodulation
- Functional medicine
- Medical hypnosis
- Infusion therapies
- Neuroinjection therapies
The aim is to support the body's self-regulation processes, stabilize functional networks, and sustainably improve patients' quality of life.
Clinical Focus Areas
In her daily work, Dr. Rahman-Oshiga supports patients with complex and chronic conditions, particularly:
- Chronic pain
- Fatigue syndromes and ME/CFS
- Stress- and burden-related disorders
- Neurological and functional symptoms
- Complex multisystem diseases
Medical Philosophy
For Dr. Rahman-Oshiga, the individual person, with their personal history, resources, and needs, is at the center of her work.
A key part of her practice is listening, understanding connections, and developing an individual therapeutic path together with the patient.
Her goal is a form of medicine that combines scientific knowledge, modern technology, and compassionate care.
