Procedures and Tests

KIMS Hospitals at Electronic City offers many services to treat neurological issues. These involve the ones listed below and more:

1. Neurodiagnostic Tests

• EEG (Electroencephalogram): If your doctor wants to measure the electrical activity of your brain to identify epilepsy or related conditions, this is the procedure of choice.
• Electromyography (EMG): With the help of electrical signals in muscles and nerves your doctor can check how they work.
• Magnetoencephalography (MEG): Detects magnetic fields that develop in your brain, which help a doctor to understand its functions.
• Quantitative sensory testing: Studies nerve reactions to sensations like touch or temperature to evaluate their performance.
• Transcranial Doppler test: Uses ultrasound to observe how blood moves through the brain.
• Thermoregulatory sweat test: Analyses sweating patterns to evaluate autonomic nerve function.
• Autonomic reflex testing: Evaluates how the nervous system controls automatic body functions.
• Neurological gait assessment: Checks walking patterns to find movement-related issues.
• Concussion screenings and tests: Look for signs of physical or mental changes after a head injury.
• Brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): Takes images of the brain to spot structural or health problems.
• Diagnostic Subtraction Angiograms: Look at the brain and spine blood vessels by removing other details to make the images clearer.
• Uses ultrasound for diagnosing OPD cases.

2. Brain Function and Therapy Approaches

• Spinal cord injury recovery: Physical and occupational therapies aim to help patients regain abilities after spinal cord injuries.
• Re-learning walking after spinal injuries: Therapists use treadmills to teach patients how to walk again.
• Using electrical currents for muscle recovery: Functional electrical stimulation helps rebuild motor skills by applying small electrical currents.
• Reducing stiff muscles in spinal cord injuries: Our neurologists use a combination of therapies and medicine to help control muscle tightness.
• Finding ways to manage bladder and bowel problems: Plans are created to improve control of bladder and bowel issues caused by neurogenic disorders.
• Checking speech and swallowing difficulties – Speech language pathologists assess communication, swallowing and speech challenges.

3. Therapeutic Neurological Procedures

• Botox injections: Helps in migraines, muscle problems, spasticity and other nerve or muscle-related issues 
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): It is a non-invasive treatment. Without any damage to your body tissues your doctor can treat your depression and other brain disorders with this procedure.
• Ultrasound-guided pain procedures: These procedures target nerve-related pain by removing the exact pain source with the help of real-time imaging.
• Fluoroscopic-guided pain procedures: Real-time X-ray imaging allows these treatments to target specific areas causing neuro-related pain.
• Neurovascular intervention: These invasive techniques are used to diagnose issues and improve blood flow in the brain and spinal area.

4. Neurological Biopsies and How They Are Understood

• Muscle biopsy analysis: Specialists examine muscle tissues to find and diagnose issues in nerves and muscles.
• Nerve biopsy study: Experts evaluate nerve tissue samples to identify and understand nerve-related disorders.

5. Neuro Care for Prevention and Comfort

• Palliative focus: Care is provided to ease symptoms and bring relief to those living with serious brain or nerve conditions.
• Stroke risk reduction: Specialists evaluate threats and take steps to reduce the likelihood of strokes.
