FAQ's Related to Neurologist

Neuromodulation refers to techniques that alter or regulate nervous system activity to help manage selected neurological conditions. It can include invasive approaches such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as well as non-invasive techniques.

Deep Brain Stimulation is a neuromodulation treatment in which electrodes are placed in specific areas of the brain and connected to a device that delivers electrical stimulation. It is used for selected neurological conditions, particularly certain movement disorders, following specialist evaluation.

Clinical electroneurophysiology involves specialized tests that assess the electrical activity and function of the nervous system. Depending on the clinical question, investigations may include EEG and nerve or muscle studies such as nerve conduction studies and electromyography.

Yes. Neurologists diagnose and manage epilepsy and other seizure disorders. Evaluation may involve a detailed clinical history, neurological examination, EEG, brain imaging, and other investigations depending on the individual case.

Neurologists can evaluate and manage dementia and other cognitive disorders. Assessment may include medical history, cognitive evaluation, neurological examination, laboratory tests, and brain imaging when appropriate.

Bring previous MRI or CT scans, EEG or EMG reports, laboratory results, previous neurological consultation reports, prescriptions, medication lists, and hospital discharge summaries. For headache or seizure consultations, keeping a record of symptom or seizure frequency can also be helpful.
