Nervous System Covered:

• Central Nervous System (CNS): Brain and spinal cord
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Nerves outside the CNS
• Autonomic Nervous System (ANS): Controls involuntary body functions (e.g., heart rate, digestion, breathing)

1. Common Neurological Disorders:

• Stroke
• Epilepsy (seizure disorders)
• Parkinson’s disease
• Alzheimer’s disease & other dementias
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Migraine & chronic headaches
• Neuropathy (nerve damage)
• Brain tumors
• Muscle disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis)

Diagnostic Tools:

• MRI, CT scan
• EEG (Electroencephalogram)
• EMG (Electromyography)
• Lumbar puncture (CSF analysis)
• Nerve conduction studies

Neurological Treatments:

• Medical: Medications (anti-seizure, pain relief, neuroprotective drugs)
• Surgical: Neurosurgery for tumors, trauma, or vascular issues
• Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy
• Lifestyle & Support: Stress management, cognitive therapy, support groups

Neurology plays a critical role in improving quality of life by diagnosing complex nervous system conditions and offering medical or surgical interventions.
