Provides detailed images of blood vessels in and around the brain and can help identify aneurysms, vascular malformations and other abnormalities.
Carotid and Vascular Imaging
Helps assess blood flow and identify abnormalities in vessels supplying the brain, particularly when investigating cerebrovascular conditions.
Cognitive and Functional Assessment
Neurocognitive Assessment
Evaluates functions such as memory, attention, language and problem-solving to support the assessment of cognitive and memory-related disorders.
Neurological Examination
A detailed clinical assessment of functions such as movement, reflexes, sensation, coordination, balance and cognition that helps guide further investigation.
Neurological Treatment Options at Sterling Hospitals, Gandhidham
Different neurological conditions require different approaches to treatment depending on the underlying cause, severity and individual needs. Care may range from medicines and supportive therapies to specialised interventions and surgery, with rehabilitation forming an important part of recovery for many patients.
Non-Surgical and Supportive Care
Medical Management
Many neurological conditions can be managed with medicines, regular monitoring and other non-surgical measures. Treatment is tailored to the condition and may focus on controlling symptoms, preventing complications and maintaining neurological function.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation can support recovery following neurological illness, stroke, injury or surgery. Depending on individual needs, it may include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and other interventions to improve mobility, communication, coordination and independence.
Supportive Therapies
Supportive therapies complement primary treatment by addressing the functional and day-to-day challenges associated with neurological conditions. Depending on individual requirements, these may include pain management, nutritional support and other supportive services.
Interventional and Surgical Care
Stroke Interventions
Some strokes require urgent intervention to restore blood flow to the brain. Depending on the type of stroke and the patient's clinical condition, treatment may include thrombolytic therapy or procedures to remove a blood clot.
Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery may be considered for conditions involving structural abnormalities of the brain, spinal cord or surrounding tissues. Depending on the condition, surgeons may use conventional, minimally invasive or precision-guided techniques.
Neurovascular Procedures
Conditions affecting the blood vessels of the brain may require specialised procedures to manage abnormalities such as aneurysms and other vascular conditions. The appropriate intervention depends on the nature and location of the abnormality.
Spine Procedures
Some spinal conditions may require procedures to relieve nerve compression, address instability or treat structural abnormalities. The choice of intervention depends on the underlying condition and its severity.
Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) uses controlled electrical stimulation of specific areas of the brain and may be considered for selected patients with movement disorders when conventional treatment does not provide adequate symptom control.
Tumour Surgery
Surgery may be considered for certain brain and spinal tumours depending on their type, size, location and effect on surrounding neurological structures. Surgical planning takes into account the need to treat the tumour while preserving neurological function as far as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should someone consult a neurologist?
A person should consider consulting a neurologist if they experience persistent or unexplained symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, seizures, tremors, weakness, numbness, balance problems, memory changes or other changes affecting movement, sensation or coordination. A neurologist can evaluate the symptoms, identify possible underlying causes and recommend appropriate diagnostic tests or treatment.
What is the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?
A neurologist specialises in the medical diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles, usually through medicines and other non-surgical treatments. A neurosurgeon is a surgical specialist who evaluates and treats neurological conditions that may require procedures or surgery involving the brain, spinal cord or related structures. Depending on the condition, patients may be cared for by either specialist or by both as part of a multidisciplinary team.
What tests are commonly used to diagnose neurological conditions?
The tests recommended depend on the symptoms and suspected condition. Common investigations may include MRI, CT scans, PET-CT, EEG, video EEG, electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), cerebral angiography and neurocognitive assessments, along with a detailed neurological examination.
When should a neurological condition be treated as an emergency?
Sudden neurological symptoms such as weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, loss of coordination, altered consciousness or other abrupt changes in neurological function may require urgent medical assessment. Conditions such as stroke can require timely diagnosis and intervention, so sudden or rapidly worsening neurological symptoms should not be ignored.
Can neurological conditions be managed without surgery?
Yes. Many neurological conditions can be managed with medicines, monitoring, rehabilitation and other supportive therapies without surgery. The appropriate approach depends on the underlying condition, its severity and the patient's individual needs. Surgery or other specialised interventions may be considered when non-surgical treatment is not appropriate or does not provide adequate control.
When is a second opinion recommended for a neurological condition?
A second opinion may be useful when the diagnosis is uncertain, treatment options are complex, surgery or another major intervention has been recommended, or the patient would like another specialist's assessment before making a treatment decision. A second opinion can provide additional perspective on the diagnosis and available treatment approaches.
Do neurological conditions require long-term treatment and follow-up?
Some neurological conditions may require ongoing treatment, monitoring and follow-up, particularly chronic, progressive or recurrent conditions. Follow-up may involve monitoring symptoms, assessing treatment response, adjusting medicines and providing rehabilitation or supportive care when needed. The duration and frequency of follow-up depend on the specific condition and individual patient needs.
