NEUROLOGY

Neurology is the branch of health sciences that deals with all abnormalities and disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The scope of a neurologist may also include the blood vessels, sheaths and effector tissues. Scientific research of the human nervous system helps physicians establish themselves in the field of neurology. A neurologist may typically be involved in clinical trials, research, translational research, or basic research. One branch within neurology, neurosurgery, is the department that supports the parent branch with its specialty. Over the years, there has been considerable overlap between neurology and psychiatry, constantly blurring the otherwise obvious distinction between the two functions.

About Neurology

The neurology physician focuses heavily on the patient’s current physical and mental health status and, as part of a regular treatment plan, also examines the patient’s medical history, particularly mental health, strength, reflexes, cranial nerve health (including vision), and sensation. It is essential that a neurology physician determine the clinical location of the abnormality and/or simply verify that the problem is occurring in the nervous system. Most neurological diagnoses are made through a series of tests that help determine the location of the problem, and then a treatment program is established that leads the patient to definitive therapy and complete recovery from nervous disorders.
In both the inpatient and outpatient departments, a doctor of neurology examines, diagnoses, and cures patients referred by other physicians. The starting point of any neurological treatment is based on two key procedures:

A thorough examination of the patient’s medical history (including mental and physical health).
A physical examination with emphasis on analysis of the patient’s nervous system.
A comprehensive examination of a patient’s neurological condition may include (but is not limited to) assessment of the following:

While the above tests are appropriate for most cases, there are a few instances where a neurologist may also order some additional tests to ensure that therapy/treatment is going in the right direction. The list of additional tests may include the following:

Examination of a patient’s cerebrospinal fluid is one of the most common procedures performed by physicians who perform a lumbar puncture. Genetic testing has evolved in its usefulness, opening up further possibilities in the assessment and classification of neuromuscular diseases that may be inherited, including helping to cure many such neurogenetic and neurologic diseases. Active research is underway to uncover various genetic influences on the development of acquired neurological diseases. The same is true for pediatric neurology.

Some of the most common diseases treated and cured by neurology doctors are:
