The diagnostic procedures carried out at Gleneagles Global Health City are:
Nerve Conduction
Tests
The speed of an electrical impulse moves
through your nerve is measured by Nerve Conduction Tests which helps to
identify nerve damage.
Electromyography
Studies
Electromyography Studies is used to help
detect neuromuscular abnormalities which measure the Muscle response or
electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle.
Evoked Potential
Studies
Electrical activity in the brain in
response to stimulation of sight, sound, or touch is measured by evoked
potential studies.
Motor Unit Number
Estimation
Motor Unit Number Estimation is a method
which uses electromyography to estimate the number of motor units in a muscle.
Autonomic Nervous
System Evaluation
Autonomic Nervous System Evaluation helps
to see if a disease is affecting the autonomic nervous system. There are
several tests which are done to monitor blood pressure, blood flow, heart rate,
skin temperature, and sweating.
Invasive Video
EEG Tests
The recordings that are made with
electrodes that have been surgically implanted on the surface or within the
depth of the brain is known as Invasive EEG recordings.
Interventional
Angiography
A procedure in which blood vessels
(arteries or veins) are injected with a dye is called Diagnostic and
interventional angiography. It shows up on X-Ray to detect narrowing or
blockages.
Genetic Testing
Genetic test results can confirm or rule
out a suspected genetic condition. It may even help determine a person’s chance
of developing or passing on a genetic disorder.

Weakness
Muscle control
problems
Muscle stiffness
Aphasia
Aphasia is an inability that affects a
person’s ability to communicate which may result in brain damage.
Stroke
Stroke is a problem that affects the
arteries leading to and within the brain.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a central nervous system
(neurological) disorder which causes the brain activity to work abnormally. It
causes seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss
of awareness.
Dementia
A collective term which describes various
symptoms of cognitive decline, such as decline in memory power. Several
underlying diseases and brain disorders are common symptoms of dementia.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy typically results in numbness,
tingling, muscle weakness and pain in the affected area which is caused by
damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves.
Neuralgia
It is a pain that travels throughout the length
of a nerve.
What are the neurosurgeries done at the Institute of Neurosciences?
Stereo EEG
Implantation
Stereo EEG implantation allows on the
surface of the brain and deep within it for simultaneous exploration of
electrical activity.
Subdural Grid
Implantation
When seizure activity cannot be located
by ictal scalp recordings, Subdural grid arrays are used. It is also used when functional cortical
mapping is required before surgery.
Intraoperative
EEG
It monitors the functional integrity of
certain neural structures during surgery.
Craniotomy
A craniotomy is the surgical procedure
which exposes the brain by removing a part of the bone from the skull.
Complex Temporal
Epilepsy Surgery
The seizures that are uncontrolled with
medication are treated through Epilepsy surgery.
Hemispherectomy
Cerebral hemisphere (half of the brain)
is removed, disconnected, or disabled through this very rare neurosurgical
procedure
Thrombolysis
It is a treatment to improve blood flow
by dissolving dangerous clots in blood vessels. It also prevents damage to
tissues and organs.
Brain Stroke
What is brain stroke?
Stroke is a problem that affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. Read more
