FAQ's Related to Neurologist

A neurologist diagnoses and treats disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Common conditions include stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, migraines, multiple sclerosis (MS), neuropathies, and dementia.

Stroke treatment depends on the type (ischemic or hemorrhagic). Treatments include clot-busting medications, mechanical thrombectomy (the removal of a clot using a minimally invasive procedure), and rehabilitation therapy to restore movement, speech, and function.

DBS involves implanting a small device in the brain that sends electrical signals to regulate abnormal brain activity. It helps reduce tremors, seizures, or movement difficulties in patients unresponsive to medication.

A brain pacemaker is another term for DBS. Patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease or drug-resistant epilepsy may benefit from it, especially if medications alone don’t control symptoms.

Stem cell or bone marrow transplants aim to reset the immune system to prevent further nerve damage. These are usually considered for severe, treatment-resistant cases under specialised care.
