Neurosciences: Condition & Treatments

Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is slow, developing neurologic disorder that results in the atrophy of the brain, thereby causing the death of brain cells. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia which is a regular decline in certain activities like thinking, behavioural and social skills that affect a person's ability to function independently. In this condition, people have difficulty remembering recent events, though they might easily recall things that happened years ago. Alzheimer's is not a normal part of ageing and worsens over time. People with alzheimer disease often tend to forget their close family members. They might also forget how to get ready, feed themselves, and use the washroom. The disease results in the breakdown of tissues of the brain over a while. It usually takes place in people 65 years of age and above. The life span of a person suffering from this condition can live for just a few years or a few decades. Women are more prone to this condition than men.

Brain Stroke

A stroke or brain attack is a condition in which the brain cells suddenly die due to a lack of oxygen. It can be caused by an obstruction in the blood flow or the rupture of an artery that feeds the brain. The patient may suddenly lose the ability to speak, there may be memory problems, or one side of the body can become paralysed. Brain stroke is the second most common cause of death and the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide. Approximately 20 million people each year suffer from stroke, 5 million of whom do not survive. In India, it is a leading cause of death and disability in the young population.

Know More

Brain Tumor

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells/tissue within the brain or the skull vault. It is created by an unusual and uncontrolled cell division, usually in the brain itself, but also sometimes in the lymphatic tissue, blood vessels, cranial nerves, brain meninges (skinny layer of tissue covering the spinal cord and brain), the skull, pituitary gland, or pineal gland and from congenital vest cells.

Know More

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects an individual's muscle tone, movement and posture. It is a group of disorders caused by injury to an immature, developing brain before birth. Its symptoms become apparent during infancy and preschool years. People with cerebral palsy have difficulty swallowing, eye-muscle coordination, and involuntary movements. They often have a reduced range of motion at the joints caused by muscle stiffness. The cause of the development of cerebral palsy and its effect on various body functions varies greatly. Some people can walk, while others require assistance. Some may have intellectual disabilities, while others may not. People with cerebral palsy may also have epilepsy, blindness, or deafness. It is crucial to note that cerebral palsy is a lifelong disorder. This condition has no cure. Treatment helps manage symptoms and improve function.

Know More

Dementia

Dementia is a degenerative process characterized by loss of cognitive function eg loss of memory, thinking, reasoning, and loss of executive function which the person was able to do before the start of this process. It usually affects people older than 60 years of age. It is a process of accelerated aging of the brain. Alzheimer's Disease is the most common type of dementia.

Know More

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that disrupts normal brain activity and causes unprovoked recurrent seizures. These seizures can vary in time, frequency, and severity and can cause loss of consciousness. Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain function, caused by abnormally excited electrical signals in the brain. Epilepsy is a term used for recurrent seizures caused by increased firing in the brain cells resulting in short-circuiting of the brain circuits. Epilepsy is not a psychological illness. Epileptic seizures can be of different types with some being mild while the others causing spasms and uncontrollable muscle twitches. About 1% of people worldwide (70 million) have epilepsy, and nearly 80% of cases occur in developing countries. In India, it’s prevalent in between 6 to 10 per 1000 people.

Headache

A headache or cephalalgia refers to pain anywhere in the different areas of the head or neck. This includes the nine pain-sensitive structures, which include the cranium (the periosteum of the skull), muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, subcutaneous tissues, eyes, ears, sinus and mucous membranes. Headache is a common problem and majority of common headaches can be managed by commonly used painkillers. Some with more frequent episodes require prophylactic agents to reduce the frequency of attacks. However in some cases, despite all measures the headaches can be difficult to manage. Pain clinic can offer interventions which can help not only in establishing better pain control and improving quality of life but also in confirming the diagnosis (in some cases).Pain clinic offers multi-disciplinary approach to address concomitant magnifiers/ triggers such as anxiety, depression, altered sleep cycle, medication overuse, life style and poor posture. The term Cervicogenic Headaches is commonly used for headaches originating from cervical spine pathology or surrounding soft tissues. These types of headaches are mostly accompanied by cervical pain, stiffness and are commonly undertreated. Extra cranial sources of headaches such as nerves, joints and muscles can also be easily missed. Examples include neck facet or Atlantoaxial joint pathology, headaches secondary to third occipital nerve, supraorbital neuralgia, occipital neuralgia, sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle strain and spasms.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

In multiple sclerosis, the communication within the brain, and between the brain and body is disrupted. It is caused by damage to the myelin sheath, a protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable and often disabling disease which affects the central nervous system, spinal cord and optic nerves. It is categorized as an autoimmune disease caused by the immune system attacking and damaging the nervous system. 

Know More

Neuromuscular Disorders/Diseases

Neuromuscular disease is a broad term that encompasses many diseases and ailments that impair the functioning of the muscles. These may involve the muscle directly or indirectly by involving the nerves or the Neuromuscular junction (the meeting point of the motor nerves and muscle fibre).

Know More

Parkinson’s Disease

It is a disorder of the brain that leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination. Symptoms may be mild at first. For instance, you may have a mild tremor or a slight feeling that one leg or foot is stiff and dragging. 

Know More

Vertigo

Vertigo is a common condition in which a person feels dizzy with gait instability and vomiting. It is a sensation that feels like everything around is rotating. In the younger population, it is commonly associated with inner ear infections while in adults, there may be other underlying causes.

Subdural Hematoma: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments

Subdural hematoma refers to the pooling of blood between the skull and brain. Subdural hematomas compress the brain, give rise to symptoms, and damage the brain as they compress vital brain structures.

Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders

Parkinson’s disease is a common, slowly progressive, neurodegenerative disease. It results from the degeneration of neurons in the substantia nigra, a region of the brain that controls movement. This degeneration results in a shortage of a neurotransmitter called dopamine, therefore, causing impaired movement.

Best Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

Have you ever seen old-age people with stooped posture, shaky hands, and slur speech? These are symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It occurs due to degenerative changes in the nervous system and is seen after 60 years, but in some people, it can occur even in their 50s.
