Neurology is the branch of medicine that involves the study of disorders of the nervous system (central and peripheral nervous system) mainly including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. A neurologist or a neuro-physician is a brain doctor who specializes in the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and proper management of nervous system disorders. The primary concern of neurologists in Lahore is to treat all minor to severe problems that affect the brain function, spinal cord, and nerves.
Neurologists (Brain Specialists) usually do not perform surgeries. If a surgical procedure is needed for any patient, they often refer them to a well-experienced neurosurgeon.
Neurologists in Lahore are able to treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions ranging in severity and form. From cerebral disorders like Alzheimer's to brain-muscle coordination activity and migraines, their proficiency and knowledge involve interacting with an extensive range of patients. There are specific types of neurologists that treat particular conditions as explained below:
Autonomic neurologists are involved in diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the body's involuntary behaviors, such as heart rate, dilation or constriction of blood vessels, breathing, and swallowing.
Physicians specializing in this particular field have knowledge of diseases and conditions related to the autonomic nervous system (ANS). They have a complete understanding of how to perform clinical and laboratory evaluations and diagnose people with ANS dysfunction.
Geriatric neurologists specialize in properly treating and managing neurological conditions that mainly affect older people. They are experts in the field of diseases associated with the aging central nervous system and other nervous system disorders.
Geriatric neurologists generally emphasize their practice in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, gait disorders, dementia, and the effects of drugs on the nervous system.
A pediatric neurologist is a doctor who treats children with problems associated with the nervous system, the brain, the spinal cord, nerves, or muscles. These issues can worsen and cause severe problems such as extreme headaches, seizures, and developmental delays, if not treated.
Neurophysiologists specialize in the study of neurological disorders. The field of neurophysiology emphasizes the treatment of neurological and muscular problems. Neurophysiologists deal with the activities of nerve cells and neuromuscular damage. They can also perform certain tests to measure the electrical activity of nerve cells with investigations like electromyography and nerve conduction studies (NCS).
Behavioral neurologists evaluate, manage, and treat people with brain disorders that alter their behavior. They treat patients with attention, memory, emotional, language, and behavioral problems. Physicians specializing in behavioral neurology deal with the pathological and clinical aspects of neural processes related to cognition, behavior, emotion, and basic neural function.
The Neurologist in Lahore can treat multiple diseases and disorders that are listed below:
Headaches, including migraines
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) – Abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid
Epilepsy - A condition in which brain activity becomes abnormal, resulting in seizures
Tumors of the brain, spine, and nerves
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) - a developmental disability
Myasthenia Gravis - An autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular system
Arteriovenous Malformations
Sleep disorders like insomnia, parasomnia, etc.
Cerebral Palsy - A condition in which the ability to move and maintenance of posture is lost
Encephalitis - A rare infection in the brain due to a virus
Mental and behavioral health disorders
Concussion - Mild traumatic brain injury
Genetic conditions that affect the nervous system
The common neurologic tests that can be performed in order to evaluate the disorders are given below:
EEG (electroencephalogram) – This test measures electrical activity in the brain
Electromyography (EMG) – It is a diagnostic test that measures the activity of muscles and nerves
Myelogram Test – This test is used to detect a spinal cord tumor
Polysomnogram – This test is specifically used to detect the activity of the brain and body during sleep to help detect sleep disorders
Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis – This test is usually performed to detect the presence of multiple sclerosis, cerebral hemorrhage, infection, and metabolic diseases
Cerebral Angiography – A procedure that shows how blood flows through the brain

There are many medical conditions that resemble symptoms of depression. The best neurologist can help confirm the diagnosis of depression. Depression-like symptoms are common in adults with substance abuse problems, drug side effects, medical problems, or other mental health problems.
During your first appointment, your neurologist will ask you to take part in a physical and neurological examination. Neurological tests will be performed that measure muscle strength, sensation, reflex action, and coordination. Due to the complex function of your nervous system, you probably need to undergo additional testing for a better understanding of your problem.
