Some of the most common types of nerve disease and disorders are mentioned below: • Headaches• Epilepsy and Seizures....• Stroke....• ALS: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis....• Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia....• Parkinson's Disease.The vast nerve network is spread out virtually across the whole body. It is a network that comprises interwoven bodies and structures that are responsible for sensory perception. The nervous system is the body's command center that is responsible for all our day-to-day functions.

Though most of the diseases related to our nervous system manifest in the later phase of life some are congenital. Some nervous disorders manifest because of lifestyle impacts especially due to vitamin deficiencies, alcoholism, drug addiction, and accidents. Other conditions that impact the system are blood disorders in the brain, benign and malignant growths, spine-related disease, Epilepsy, neuropathy, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases.

The disorders can be treated with lifestyle changes, vitamin supplements, yoga, and avoiding all activities that are detrimental to health. But in case of major anomalies, medical interventions become imperative.

Treatment also involves consuming substances like dark chocolates or substances that supply minerals like calcium and potassium. These substances are vital for the transmission of nerve impulses that enable the electrical signals to move from one nerve ending to another. Vitamins protect and strengthen the myelin sheath coating which if damaged can lead to Alzheimer’s Disease. Even HBP medicines Yoga plays a major role in strengthening the nervous system. It also leads to harmony in mind, body, and soul.

Vital medicines are also delivered by drug pumps in case of nervous disorders. Clinical Neurosciences is a branch of medicine that focuses on both types of nervous systems.• Central Nervous System (Brain & Spinal Cord) • Peripheral Nervous System including the Autonomous System.

Diagnosing Nerve Disease

Before the disease, treatment takes place a number of diagnostic tests may be required. The test mentioned below pertains to many types of disorders mentioned here. These may be carried out besides the usual urine and blood tests. • CT Scan• Lumbar Puncture • MRI• MRA• Electroencephalography • Electromyography • Electronystagmography • Evoked Response• Magnetoencephalography (MEG)• Myelogram of the spine • Nerve conduction velocity test• Neurocognitive testing • Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)• Positron emission tomography (PET) • Biopsy

Treatments Treatment can follow many paths including taking drugs meant to rectify that particular anomaly in the system.

Interventional Neuroradiology

Neuroradiology is a branch of neuroscience medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating nervous system problems. Interventional neuroradiology involves inserting tiny, flexible tubes called catheters into blood vessels leading to the brain. This allows the doctor to treat blood vessel disorders that can affect the nervous system, such as stroke.

  • Balloon angioplasty and stenting of carotid• Endovascular Embolization and coiling • Intra-arterial therapy • Radiation oncology • Needle biopsies, spine and soft tissues• Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty
  • A craniotomy is a deep invasive surgery that takes place in the cerebral region and surroundings. In this case, an opening is made in the skull. Microsurgery makes use of microscopes and high-precision instruments that enable fine surgery on minute structures in the nervous system. Even the use of high-powered X Rays in a therapy known as stereotactic radiosurgery is called for which focuses on a small area to avoid harmful radiation to the neighborhood. The procedures may also include• Deep brain stimulation• Spinal cord stimulation• Rehabilitation/physical therapy after brain injury or stroke• Spinal surgery thus, the procedures involved are vast, and as research in medical science progresses more methodology will be used to treat various ailments related to the system. The primary team involved in various procedures incl:• Neurologist • Vascular surgeon • Neurosurgeon • Neuropsychologist • Psychiatrist• Psychologist • Radiologist • Neuroscientists • Nutritionists • Primary Care Doctors• Physical Therapists• Occupational therapists, who help keep people functioning well in the home and at work

When an ailment is detected by your family doctor, he will refer you to a multispecialty hospital. A team at the hospital will examine you and conduct some diagnostic tests.

The course of action is decided after the diagnosis is made on the basis of test results and physical examination. The course of action could be medication or surgery as the case may be. Coordinated care, and procedures for treating nerve disease is the course of action.

India is one of the best destinations for the treatment of nerve diseases it is less expensive. It is one of the cheapest destinations for all medical travel in Asia. The accredited hospitals rank as the best with quality services.
