Neurology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems. A neurologist evaluates a range of conditions involving the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and neuromuscular system.
During the consultation, the doctor assesses the nature and duration of the symptoms in detail, performs a neurological examination, and determines whether additional tests are needed.
- frequent headaches, a new type of headache, or dizziness
- numbness, tingling, or altered sensation in the arms or legs
- muscle weakness or problems with movement or balance
- back or neck pain accompanied by neurological symptoms
- changes in memory, attention, sleep, or consciousness
- seizures, tremor, or other involuntary movements
The neurological examination is the basis of assessment. Depending on the clinical picture, the doctor may recommend MRI/CT of the brain or spine, electroencephalography, electroneuromyography, vascular duplex ultrasound, or laboratory tests. The choice of tests always depends on the specific symptoms and examination findings.
