Neurology is a specialized medical field led by neurologists, who are medical doctors dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the nervous system. The nervous system, comprising the central and peripheral components, which include the brain and spinal cord, is the focus of their expertise. Neurologists play a crucial role in managing and treating a wide spectrum of neurological conditions, encompassing illnesses, disorders, and injuries that involve the intricate network of the nervous system.

Individuals experiencing symptoms like coordination problems, muscle weakness, alterations in sensation, confusion, or dizziness often turn to neurologists for their specialized care. Neurologists are adept at addressing various complex issues related to the nervous system, ensuring comprehensive management and treatment.

The Department of Neurology features state-of-the-art facilities that enable doctors to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests and procedures, including electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies, and evoked potentials. The department also offers advanced imaging services,
including computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) scans.

The department also features a centre for clinical neurophysiology that offers comprehensive services related to the neurophysiological evaluation of all neurological diseases. 

The department routinely performs electromyography, nerve conduction velocity studies, single fibre EMG, electroencephalography, Video-EEG monitoring for refractory epilepsy, polysomnography, and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring for spinal and brain surgeries to conduct accurate diagnosis for the patients.

Neurologists regularly encounter patients with diverse conditions, including seizure disorders like epilepsy, strokes, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis, infections of the nervous system like encephalitis, meningitis, or brain abscesses, neurodegenerative disorders like Lou Gehrig’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, spinal cord disorders, including inflammatory and autoimmune issues, and various types of headaches, such as cluster headaches and migraines.

With their extensive knowledge and skills, neurologists are committed to providing specialized care to individuals facing a broad range of neurological challenges, ultimately contributing to the well-being of their patients
