Bumrungrad International is a recognized center of
excellence in neurology. We provide a complete array of diagnostic,
therapeutics, surgical and rehabilitation services for comprehensive treatment
and management of neurological disorders.
STROKE CENTER
Strokes are a major health threat and can quickly lead to death or disablement. Screening is an important diagnostic tool, and is especially recommended for persons with a family history of strokes or people with risk factors such as smoking, heavy alcohol use, high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes. The Stroke Center uses the latest technology to assess your risk factors and can recommend specialists or therapies to help manage your individual needs.
STROKE TREATMENT
When a stroke does occur, immediate action is required. Our specialized stroke team offers a rapid, coordinated response for stroke victims. Experienced and specialty trained physicians use the best technology available to treat stroke and ensure rapid recovery.
EPILEPSY
The epilepsy specialists at the Neurology and Neurosurgery Center help patients to manage their disease and identify the most effective course of medication. Using sophisticated diagnostic techniques, our physicians analyse and assess the source and cause of seizures and then work with the patient to control the frequency and severity of epileptic episodes.
HEADACHES
An everyday medical problem, headaches can range from benign, sporadic events to severe, chronic episodes. Normally harmless, headaches can indicate a serious problem that needs to be treated. Specialists at the Center use state-of-the-art testing and diagnostics to pinpoint the cause of the problem, and recommend treatment or therapies to alleviate the problem.
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND MEMORY IMPAIRMENT
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia (a brain disorder that seriously affects a person’s ability to carry out daily activities) among older people. It affects parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. Because memory problems and dementia can have multiple causes, accurate diagnosis and skilled medical management are critical. Our physicians are specialists at managing diseases affecting memory and motor skills.
PARKINSON’S DISEASE AND OTHER MOVEMENT DISORDERS
Parkinson’s Disease is a brain disorder that affects movement and motors skills leading to tremors, loss of balance, tics and other symptoms. Our specialists are experts in the diagnosis and management of Parkinson’s using a wide range of medical, therapeutic and surgical options.
