Some common neurological disorders that doctors at Max Hospital India treat are:
Neuromuscular Disorder
It is a broad term that includes several ailments and disorders that affect the functioning of the muscles. These may directly involve the muscles or indirectly by involving the nerves or the neuromuscular junction (the meeting point of the motor nerves as well as muscle fibre). Some of the common symptoms of neuromuscular diseases are numbness, pain, weakening of the muscle, muscle atrophy, or twitching (fasciculation).
Brain Tumour
A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain or the skull vault. Brain tumours include all tumours inside the cranium. They are created by an abnormal as well as uncontrolled cell division, usually in the brain itself, or also sometimes in lymphatic tissue, in blood vessels, in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary gland, or pineal gland and from congenital vest cells. Brain tumours are usually classified depending on the location of the tumour, the type of tissue involved, whether they are noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant), and some other factors.
Headaches
Headache is a very prevalent problem and may result from various factors. If you have a headache occasionally, there is no need to worry. But if the headache is chronic, occurs suddenly and is recurring, you need to see a neurologist.
Migraine is one of the most common types of headache that a neurologist treats. Migraines can be moderate or very severe. The patient usually feels throbbing pain. The pain mainly affects one side of the head. If you have a severe and recurring headache, contact a doctor at Max Hospital India, the best neuro hospital in India.
Stroke
Stroke is a severe medical condition. The lack or reduction in the blood flow to the brain is the primary reason for stroke. Since the brain tissue cannot get the required amount of nutrients and oxygen, the cells die within minutes. Therefore, stroke can cause serious damage to the brain and is life-treating.
Alzheimer’s Disease
In people affected by Alzheimer’s disease, the brain shrinks, and the cells die. People who have this disease find it very difficult to function without any support. Alzheimer’s negatively impacts memory, thinking and behaviour. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, which means as the person ages, the disease gets worse.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease severely impacts the body’s movement. Tremors are a common symptoms of this disease. Other symptoms are stiffness, difficulty in coordination, walking and maintaining balance. It is a progressive disease and may start slowly, but the symptoms become worse over time.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is discomforting and causes seizures, loss of awareness, sensations and other issues. Epilepsy can affect anyone, irrespective of gender, but the symptoms may vary from one person to another. In most cases, epilepsy can be efficiently managed with proper medication and treatment.
Spinal Diseases
Spinal diseases usually affect older people. The disease is associated with the impairment of the backbone. Some spinal diseases are degenerative disc disease, herniated spine, spondylosis and spinal stenosis.
Before recommending a treatment, the doctor will diagnose the problem by checking the patient’s medical history, performing a physical exam, and using one or more of the tests mentioned below.
MRI: images of the organs in the body will be created with the help of radio waves, magnets and a very advanced computer.
Ultrasound: With the help of high-frequent sound waves, the medical team will prepare images of organs, blood vessels and tissues.
Electronystagmography: Neurological conditions like inability to maintain balance, dizziness, involuntary eye movement, etc, will be diagnosed through electronystagmography.
Blood and Urine Tests: These are standard tests performed to determine whether there are any infections, protein disorders or toxins in the body.
Lumbar Puncture: A lumbar puncture is done to examine the cerebrospinal fluid for infection, abnormalities related to blood, etc.
Evoked Potentials: The diagnosis determines the brain’s reaction to specific stimuli.
CT Scan: The medical team generates two-dimensional images of the body’s internal structures through CT scans. The CT allows the doctor to detect problems and disorders.
Electroencephalogram: Commonly known as EEG, the procedure involves placing electrodes on the scalp. This helps to detect the brain’s electrical patterns.
