Department of Neurology; It is the unit that undertakes the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscular system. With our experienced neurologists and advanced diagnostic methods, we provide early diagnosis and effective treatment of neurological diseases.

What is Neurology?

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the nervous system. It examines disorders caused by structural or functional disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. Neurologists determine the source of the disease and plan the treatment process with medication or other medical methods.

Which Diseases Does Neurology Treat?

• Headache and migraine
• Epilepsy (epilepsy)
• Stroke (paralysis)
• Parkinson's disease
• Alzheimer and other types of dementia
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Muscle diseases (myopathies)
• Peripheral nerve diseases (neuropathies)
• Trigeminal neuralgia and other nerve-based pain
• Vertigo (dizziness)
• Sleep disorders
• Brain tumors and structural disorders

What are the Symptoms of Neurological Diseases?

Neurological diseases can manifest themselves with many different symptoms. These symptoms should be taken into consideration and a specialist neurologist should be consulted without delay.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent or severe headache
• Dizziness, loss of balance
• Muscle weakness or stiffness
• Numbness, tingling in hands, arms or legs
• Speech disorders
• Loss of consciousness or fainting
• Forgetfulness, behavioral changes
• Visual disorders
• Muscle twitching or uncontrolled contractions

Diagnosis and Applied Tests

Both physical examination and advanced imaging and testing methods are used in the diagnosis of neurological diseases. Depending on the type of disease, the following diagnostic methods can be applied:

• EEG (Electroencephalography) – Examination of brain waves
• EMG (Electromyography) – Muscle and nerve conduction test
• Brain MRI and CT (Computed Tomography)
• Sleep tests (Polysomnography)
• Doppler ultrasonography (for neck veins)
• Blood tests and neurological function tests

Treatment Methods

In the treatment of neurological diseases, a personalized treatment plan is prepared, taking into account the type and stage of the disease and the general health condition of the patient.

Main treatment methods applied:

• Drug therapy
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Diet and lifestyle regulations
• Psychological support
• Neurological rehabilitation programs
• Follow-up and disease management

Why Optimed Neurology?

• Specialist neurologists
• Modern diagnostic technologies
• Interdisciplinary approach
• Patient focused service
• Long-term follow-up and support for chronic neurological diseases

Don't be late for your brain and nerve health

Every neurological symptom, from headache to paralysis, from forgetfulness to balance disorders, may be a condition that needs to be diagnosed early.
