Functional Neuro Surgery

Functional neurosurgery is a neurosurgical procedure done for alleviating symptoms of various central nervous system disorders that do not have any gross anatomical abnormality. Functional neurosurgery needs a well-coordinated multidisciplinary team approach involving neuro anaesthesiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuropsychologists. Functional neurosurgery has revolutionized the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia

Functional neurosurgery involves the restoration of neurological and function. At BRINDA NEURO CENTER we treat chronic neurological disorders with a variety of techniques, including highly focused neuromodulation and deep brain stimulation. This represents one of the most rapidly growing specializations in the field of neurosurgery and provides great hope for patients with previously untreatable neurological conditions.

Deep Brain Stimulation is an advanced neuro modulatory therapy that is utilized to restore function in patients with many neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, Essential and other forms of Tremor, Dystonia and patients with Neuropsychiatric Diseases. All patients referred to anu benefit from the neuro team approach that is an essential feature of our practice.

Neurological Disorders

Many of the chronic neurological disorders which were once thought untreatable are now successfully being treated in our department. Regimens are initiated as always, but currently effective surgical treatments may be also implemented – and even applied early toward the disease – before it progresses to the point where side effects develop from repeated use of medications.

Functional neurosurgeons at Brinda New Centre are currently treating:

    Movement disorders, including Parkinson’s, tremor, dystonia, Tourette’s and hemifacial spasm

    Epilepsy

    Spasticity of cerebral origin (MS and spinal cord injury)

    Neuropsychiatric conditions, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression

    Chronic pain from neuropathic injuries or diseases, as well as malignant causes

    Trigeminal neuralgia, post herpetic neuralgia and nerve injuries.
