To implement probing medical statistic studies on neiro-trauma the cluster analysis technique was applied to classify the regions of the Russian Federation. The characteristics of social climate, demographic and economic indicators and level of medical service are considered. The eleven clusters are selected and combined into four groups. Thereby, due to possible appropriate extrapolation, the epidemiologic studies concerning the prevalence of craniocerebral and backbone cerebrospinal injuries and their aftermath can be simplified and made cheaper to facilitate the assessment of the impact on economy, demography and social climate of the country.
