Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, leading to brain cell damage. Symptoms include sudden weakness, confusion, trouble speaking, and loss of coordination. Prompt medical attention is crucial for recovery and minimizing long-term effects. Recognize the signs and seek immediate help.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can vary widely in severity and type. Treatment often involves medication to control seizures, lifestyle adjustments, and sometimes surgery for resistant cases.
Migraines
Migraines are intense headaches often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances. They can last for hours to days and significantly impact daily life. Treatment includes medications for acute attacks and preventive measures to reduce frequency and severity.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory and cognitive functions. It is characterized by memory loss, confusion, difficulty with thinking and reasoning, and changes in behavior and personality. As the disease advances, individuals may experience severe memory impairment, disorientation, and an inability to perform daily activities.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. It is characterized by tremors, stiffness, slow movement (bradykinesia), and balance problems. Symptoms worsen over time as nerve cells in the brain become damaged or die. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with medication, therapy, and sometimes surgery to improve quality of life.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a condition caused by a sudden impact or jolt to the head that disrupts normal brain function. Symptoms can range from mild (headaches, dizziness) to severe (loss of consciousness, memory problems). Treatment depends on the severity and may include medication, therapy, and rehabilitation to help regain lost skills and function.
Brain Tumors
Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in the brain. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Symptoms vary depending on the tumor’s size and location, including headaches, seizures, cognitive changes, and motor deficits. Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapies, tailored to the tumor type and patient’s health.
Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord, often resulting from trauma like accidents or falls. It can lead to loss of movement, sensation, or function below the injury site. Treatment focuses on stabilizing the spine, preventing further damage, and rehabilitation to improve mobility and quality of life.
Neurovascular Disorders
Neurovascular disorders involve conditions that affect the blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord, often leading to neurological symptoms. Examples include aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and strokes caused by blood vessel abnormalities or blockages. Treatment may involve medications, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery to manage.
