Neurosciences

Not all neurological conditions can be prevented, but some risks can be reduced. Managing blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, staying physically active and preventing head injuries can help protect your brain and overall health. If you notice any new or unusual neurological symptoms, don’t ignore them. Getting them checked early can help identify the cause and guide the right care.

Our Neurosciences Specialities

The Neurosciences Department at the CK Birla Hospital covers different areas of neurological care, from diagnosing and managing brain and nerve disorders to surgical treatment, pain management and rehabilitation.

Neurology

Neurology deals with conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles without surgery. Our neurologists diagnose and treat conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, movement disorders and neuropathy.

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery focuses on conditions that may need surgery or specialised procedures involving the brain, spine, spinal cord or nerves. This may include brain and spinal tumours, traumatic brain injuries, spinal conditions and some cases of movement disorders.

Neuro-rehabilitation

Recovery from any neurological disorder takes time. Neuro-rehabilitation helps patients improve their movement, balance, speech and everyday activities after a stroke, brain injury or other neurological conditions. It may include physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy, depending on the patient’s requirements.

When You Should See a Neurosciences Specialist

You should get a neurological evaluation if a problem keeps coming back or starts affecting your daily life.

  • Frequent and severe headaches
  • Tremors or involuntary movements
  • Recurrent seizures
  • Numbness, tingling or weakness
  • Problems with balance, walking or coordination
  • Sudden vision problems
  • Changes in memory, thinking or behaviour
  • Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
  • Persistent dizziness or vertigo
  • Changes in muscle strength or control

These symptoms can happen for many different reasons and do not always mean you have a neurological condition. For instance, headaches can be due to several triggers and sometimes forgetting things can be a normal part of ageing. But if a symptom is recurrent, gets worse or starts affecting your daily life, you should get it checked. A neurological specialist can understand your symptoms, look at their pattern and recommend whether any further evaluation may be helpful.

Diagnosis of Neurological Conditions

The tests used to diagnose a neurological condition depend on your symptoms and what your doctor finds during the initial evaluation.

  • Medical history and examination: The neurologist will discuss your symptoms and medical history and perform a neurological examination.
  • MRI: It creates detailed images of the brain, spinal cord and other tissues.
  • CT scan: It uses X-rays to create images and is useful in emergencies such as stroke or head injury.
  • EEG: It records the brain’s electrical activity and is commonly used to evaluate seizures.
  • EMG and nerve conduction studies: It checks how your nerves and muscles are working.
  • Blood tests: It may help identify infections, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic problems or other causes.
Treatments Offered by Our Neurosciences Department

Treatment depends on the condition, its severity and the individual’s overall health. It may include medicines, lifestyle and risk-factor management, rehabilitation, minimally invasive procedures or surgery.

Based on your condition, your doctor may suggest:

  • Certain medicines for conditions such as epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson’s disease and neuropathy
  • Stroke treatment and secondary prevention
  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for carefully selected movement-disorder patients
  • Botulinum toxin (BOTOX) injections for certain conditions, including chronic migraine and some movement disorders
  • Nerve blocks and image-guided pain procedures for some chronic pain conditions
  • Radiofrequency-based procedures for appropriate pain conditions
  • Neuromodulation techniques, which use electrical stimulation to influence nerve activity
  • Neurosurgery for conditions requiring surgical treatment
  • Neuro-rehabilitation following stroke, brain injury and other neurological conditions

The appropriate treatment option is decided after thorough diagnosis and discussion with the treating specialist.

FAQs

A neurologist diagnoses and medically treats disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. A neurosurgeon specialises in surgical treatment of selected conditions affecting the nervous system. Some patients may need care from both specialists.

Sudden facial weakness, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, sudden vision problems, loss of balance or a sudden severe headache should get immediate medical attention.

Many neurological conditions can be managed with medicines, lifestyle measures, monitoring and rehabilitation. Surgery is considered when appropriate for the specific condition. Whether surgery is needed depends on your condition, its severity and your overall health.

An MRI is generally painless, although some people may find the enclosed scanner uncomfortable. An EEG (Electroencephalography) is also painless and involves placing small electrodes on the scalp to record brain activity.

Yes. A neurologist can evaluate recurring or difficult to manage headaches, look for possible triggers or underlying causes and recommend appropriate treatment.

Not all neurological conditions can be prevented, but some risks can be reduced. Managing blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, staying physically active and preventing head injuries can help protect your brain and overall health.
