Neurological Symptoms and Diseases

Common Neurological Diseases

Neurology addresses a wide range of disorders, including:

• Stroke

• Epilepsy

• Parkinson’s disease

• Migraine and chronic headaches

• Multiple sclerosis

• Autonomic disorders

• Radiculopathy and intervertebral hernias

• Polyneuropathy

• Consequences of central nervous system injuries

These conditions can significantly affect a patient's daily life by impairing motor, sensory, and cognitive functions.

Symptoms That Require a Neurologist Visit

You should consult a neurologist if you experience:

• Frequent headaches or dizziness

• Impaired coordination

• Weakness in the limbs

• Numbness or tingling

• Seizures or episodes of loss of consciousness

• Chronic fatigue and muscle pain

• Memory loss and difficulty concentrating

Timely diagnosis and treatment of neurological symptoms help prevent serious complications and improve quality of life. 

Diagnosis of Neurological Diseases

Neurological diagnosis involves the following steps:

• Initial consultation and medical history

• Neurological examination to assess reflexes, sensitivity, and coordination

• Laboratory tests

• Instrumental methods: MRI, CT, electroencephalography (EEG), electroneuromyography (ENMG)

Comprehensive diagnostics make it possible to identify dysfunctions of the central and peripheral nervous system and develop a personalized treatment plan. 

Treatment of Neurological Diseases

Neurological treatment in Russia adheres to modern international standards. The neurologist selects the therapy based on the diagnosis, disease stage, and patient condition. Treatment may include:

• Medication therapy

• Physiotherapy

• Nerve blocks, infusion or neuromodulatory therapy

• Surgical intervention (in complex cases)

Special focus is given to restoring lost functions and preventing relapses.

Rehabilitation and Recovery

After the main treatment, the patient may need comprehensive rehabilitation aimed at restoring the function of the nervous system.

Rehabilitation Process

Rehabilitation consists of several stages:

• Initial rehabilitation — begins immediately after treatment during hospitalization

• Outpatient stage — ongoing recovery under medical supervision

• Home rehabilitation — implementation of an individual program 

Therapeutic Methods

Rehabilitation may include:

• Therapeutic exercise and massage

• Physiotherapy

• Speech therapy (if speech impairments are present)

• Psychological support

An integrated approach significantly improves the patient’s condition and helps restore lost functions.

Neurologists

A neurologist is a medical specialist focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the nervous system. In Moscow and other regions of Russia, multidisciplinary clinics employ experienced neurologists.

Doctors and Their Specializations

Neurological centers offer consultations with:

• Specialists in stroke and vascular pathologies

• Neurologists-epileptologists

• Neurodegenerative disease experts

• Pain and migraine specialists

• Pediatric neurologists

Each specialist tailors treatment based on the specifics of the condition and the patient’s individual needs.

How to Choose a Neurologist

When choosing a doctor, consider the following:

• Experience and area of specialization

• Positive patient reviews

• Reputation of the medical center

• Diagnostic and treatment methods used

It is recommended to make an appointment with a physician who specializes in the patient’s specific condition.
