The General Neurology Clinic diagnoses, manages and treat the full spectrum of basic and complex neurological disorders. Commonly treated symptoms associated with these general neurology include headaches, stroke, seizures, Parkinson's disease and dementia
Epilepsy is a genetic disorder or an acquired brain injury called as trauma or stroke. During seizure the patient experiences unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness. Between seizures, the patient experiences symptoms such as fainting, muscle spasms, amnesia, anxiety and depression to name a few. Treatment of epilepsy is usually done by medication and in some other cases by surgery or dietary changes. At the Epilepsy Centre the doctor investigates the symptoms and medical history of the patient. Doctor may suggest tests to diagnose epilepsy and determine the cause of seizures. Test evaluation may include Neurological exam and Blood test to diagnose the type of epilepsy and detect for any brain abnormalities.
One of the most common test in epilepsy is Electroencephalogram (EEG) to record the electrical activity of your brain. Doctor monitor patients brain activity while awake or at sleep on video through an EEG test to record any seizure experience. This enables doctors to determine the kind of seizure for treating epilepsy.
High-density EEG may help doctor more precisely determine the areas of the brain are affected by seizures.
Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan is used to scan the cross-section images of the brain. CT scans can helps in understating the abnormalities such as tumors, bleeding and cysts in the brain that might be causing seizures.
Magnetic resonance imaging is used to create a detailed view of your brain able to detect lesions or abnormalities in your brain that could be causing seizures.
Functional MRI is used to measure the changes in blood flow to the brain. Doctors may use an FMRI before surgery to identify and locate critical functions (speech and movement) for the brain, so that surgeons can avoid injuring those places while operating.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is considered the best imaging method to reveal how the brain functions between seizures. These scans could help doctors to understand seizures.
This type of test is used primarily if an MRI & EEG cannot locate the seizure origins from the brain.
Neuropsychological tests assesses thinking, memory and speech skills. The test help doctors determine the areas of your brain are affected.
Headaches are common among people. Severe and frequent headaches disrupting your daily life is a sign of something serious is when you have to consult a neurologist. The accompanying symptoms may be continuous headache for more than a day or two, sudden headaches, headaches when in strain, early morning headaches, changes in vision or eye sight and experiencing seizures along with headaches are some signs of consulting a neurologist.

Symptoms for insomnia may include difficulty falling asleep, Waking up frequently during the night, Waking up too early in the morning, depression or anxiety, Difficulty paying attention etc. Most common treatment for insomnia are improving sleep habits and behaviour therapy.
Multiple sclerosis is nerve damage disrupting communication between the brain and the body. Symptoms includes vision loss, pain, fatigue and impaired coordination and vary from person to person. Multiple sclerosis may be symptom free for most of the patients and some experience severe, chronic symptoms frequently. Treatment includes physiotherapy and medication that suppress the immune system to slow disease progression. Treatment at multiple sclerosis clinic typically focuses on slowing the progression of the disease and managing multiple and aiding speedy recovery from attacks.
Botulinum Toxin Clinic provides botulinum injection therapy for various disorders like hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, oromandibular dystonia, cervical dystonia, laryngeal dysphonia's, focal dystonia, post stroke spasticity, etc. Botulinum Toxin treatment is extremely safe and effective.
Movement disorders are neurological conditions which affects the ability to produce and control body movement. Diagnosing movement disorders are difficult and our specialists at will work on a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms. Diagnosing the movement disorder requires neurological test such as blood tests, Head CT, MRI brain, or DaT scan and physical exam such as neurologic exam and medical history.
Cerebrovascular diseases are conditions that affect the flow of blood through the brain resulting in impairing the brain function. However, Stroke is the most common form of cerebrovascular diseases. Other causes of cerebrovascular disease are stroke, vascular dementia, vascular malfunctions, hemorrhage, Transient ischemic attack or mini stroke and Aneurysms.
Neuromuscular Disorder affects sensory nerves and movements that connects with brain and the spinal cord. Muscle weakness in the primary condition with neuromuscular disorder. There are many types of neuromuscular disorder which are diabetic neuropathy, toxic neuropathy, small fiber neuropathy, autonomic neuropathies, muscular disorders and neuromuscular junction disorders. Treatment options are based on diagnosis and condition and severity. By medical therapy and pain management some some neuromuscular disorder can be effectively managed and treated.
Memory disorder clinic diagnosis and manages the conditions that impacting memory and thinking from diseases such as stoke, mild cognitive impairment, cognitive disorders and alzheimer's disease. The clinic helps patients to manage their problems with memory loss and maintain improve the quality of life. The nature of the treatment depends on the cause and the severity of the memory loss of the patient.
