Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. This includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

Neurology procedures are recommended for patients who meet specific criteria based on the type and severity of their neurological condition. Here are the primary considerations:

Severe or Progressive Symptoms

• Persistent Pain: Chronic pain that does not respond to conservative treatments.
• Severe Headaches: Migraines or other severe headache disorders that are unmanageable with medication.
• Progressive Neurological Symptoms: Worsening symptoms such as tremors, muscle weakness, or loss of coordination.
  

  Diagnostic Procedures

  • Lumbar Puncture: To diagnose conditions like meningitis, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological disorders.
  • Nerve Conduction Studies: To assess the function and health of nerves and muscles.
