Movement Disorder Services

The Experienced team of Neurologists and Neurosurgeons provide advanced care for medical management of parkinson’s disease, tremor, PD plus syndromes, dystonia and has the expertise in Pallidotomy and Deep Brain stimulation for advanced Parkinsons disease and related disorders.

Botulinum toxin clinic: The Botulinum Toxin Injections are used for the treatment of a wide variety of movement disorders like hemifacial spasm, writer’s cramp, Torticolis; post stroke spasticity, Cerebral palsy.

Neuro-Muscular Disorders

State of art Neurophysiology lab is available for evaluation of Muscle and Nerve disorders including various types of myopathies, AIDP, CIDP & other Neuropathies, Motor Neuron Disease and Myashthenia gravis. All types of immunomodulation, Plasma pheresis, IVIG therapies are available.

Multiple Sclerosis

KIMS has the state of art technology and expertise for evaluation and treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis providing the various latest therapies for patients with MS.

Sleep Services

Provides evaluation and treatment for people with lack of sleep, excessive sleep, non restful and disturbed sleep, excessive snoring/OSA and other sleep related problems. Sleep study lab is available.

State-of-Art Equipment and Technology at Neurology Department :

Electrophysiology lab: State of art electrophysiology lab with well qualified technologist is at KIMS. We offer comprehensive neuro-electrophysiology work up and tests at affordable rates. We perform:

  • VEEG lab: Short routine EEG, Short VEEG and Longterm EEG for evaluation of epilepsy and sleep lab. We have 4 state of art VEEG machines.
  • Nerve condution tests: Neurophysiological testing of sensory and motor nerve functions of limbs as well as other nerves.
  • EMG: electomyography surface and needle EMG facility available. This test is needed for diagnosis of nerve and muscle diseases.
  • VEP: visual evoked potential – for electrophysiological testing of anterior visual pathyway specially optic nerve.
  • BEAR: Brainstem evoked response audiometry – for testing of ear and brainstem function.
  • SSEP: Somatosensory evoked potential – electrophysiological testing of sensory pathyway.
  • Intraoprative Electrocorticography, cortical stimulation.
  • TCD: Trans Cranial Doppler, this non invasive test is useful for finding out arterial status and blood flow of cerebral arteries.
  • Tremor analysis test: Electrophysiological testing of nature of tremor and its frequency
  • Autonomic function tests: Patients having diabetic and other autonomic neuropathy this battery of tests done by electrophysiology machine are useful for finding out imbalance of autonomic function system
  • RNS: repetitive nerve stimulation test- useful for diagnoisis of muscle weakness in patients having Myasthenia Gravis
  • Single fiber EMG: useful for patients having myasthenia gravis
