NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

Neurological disorders, also known as nervous system diseases, are conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. These disorders can be caused by structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the nervous system, and can range from mild to life-threatening. These disorders include epilepsy, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, cerebrovascular diseases including stroke, migraine and other headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neuro infections, brain tumors, traumatic disorders of the nervous system due to head trauma, and neurological disorders as a result of malnutrition.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, unpredictable, and potentially disabling neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin, the protective coating of nerve fibers, which damages communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This damage can lead to scarring and permanent nerve fiber deterioration. Symptoms of MS can vary widely and depend on which part of the central nervous system is affected.

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive brain disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body that nerves control. It's characterized by motor symptoms, such as tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement, but can also cause non-motor symptoms, such as sleep problems, depression, and fatigue. Symptoms usually start gradually and worsen over time.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to a brain injury that is caused by an outside force. TBI can be caused by a forceful bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body, or from an object entering the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in TBI. Some types of TBI can cause temporary or short-term problems with brain function, including problems with how a person thinks, understands, moves, communicates, and acts. More serious TBI can lead to severe and permanent disability, and even death. Some injuries are considered primary, meaning the damage is immediate. Others can be secondary, meaning they can occur gradually over the course of hours, days, or weeks after injury. These secondary brain injuries are the result of reactive processes that occur after the initial head trauma.

Migraines

A migraine is a headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so bad that it interferes with your daily activities.For some people, a warning symptom known as an aura occurs before or with the headache. An aura can include visual disturbances, such as flashes of light or blind spots, or other disturbances, such as tingling on one side of the face or in an arm or leg and difficulty speaking.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder that causes recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Seizures are brief episodes of involuntary movement that can affect the entire body (generalized) or just part of it (partial). They can also cause loss of consciousness and control of bowel or bladder function.
