FAQ's Related to Neurologist

A Neurologist diagnoses and treats disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. They manage conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, stroke, and motor neuron diseases.

You may consult a neurologist for persistent headaches, numbness or weakness, memory problems, tremors, balance or walking difficulties, seizures, or when a neurological condition such as multiple sclerosis is suspected or has been diagnosed.

Neuroimmunology is the study of the interaction between the nervous system and the immune system. It focuses on conditions in which the immune system attacks parts of the brain, spinal cord, or nerves, such as multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic condition of the central nervous system in which the immune system damages the protective covering of nerve fibres. This can cause symptoms such as vision problems, weakness, numbness, fatigue, and difficulty with balance and coordination.

Neural stem cells are cells that can develop into different types of brain and nervous system cells. Researchers are studying how they may help protect or repair damaged nervous tissue in conditions such as multiple sclerosis and stroke.

Gene therapy is an approach that aims to treat or modify a disease by introducing, correcting, or regulating genetic material in a patient’s cells. It is being investigated for several neurological disorders.

It is a treatment approach in which stem cells are used to help reset the immune system or support repair of nervous tissue. Its role in multiple sclerosis continues to be studied, and suitability depends on the individual patient.
