Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I think someone is having a stroke?
Call our emergency line immediately: +977 980-4163734. Do not wait. Use the FAST test: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech slurred, Time to call. Treatment within the first 4.5 hours dramatically improves outcomes.
Do I need an MRI before seeing the neurologist?
Not always. Many neurological diagnoses are made clinically. We will order an MRI only if it changes the management — saves you cost and time.
Can epilepsy be cured?
Many forms of epilepsy can be fully controlled with the right medication — some patients eventually come off treatment. A few epilepsy syndromes are managed long-term. We classify your epilepsy first, then plan accordingly.
Will my Parkinson’s get worse?
Parkinson’s progresses slowly, but with the right medication and exercise programme most people maintain a good quality of life for many years. We adjust treatment as the condition evolves.
Do you offer neurorehabilitation?
Yes — through our linked neurological rehabilitation team. Most stroke and Parkinson’s patients benefit significantly from structured physiotherapy.

Neurology: Why Accurate Diagnosis Comes First
Neurological symptoms — headache, weakness, numbness, seizures, dizziness, memory change — overlap heavily, and the difference between conditions can be the difference between a simple treatment and an emergency. A careful history and examination by a neurologist often localise the problem before any scan, which is why we investigate selectively rather than ordering an MRI for every symptom.
Used well, targeted investigation confirms a diagnosis and changes management; used indiscriminately, it adds cost and anxiety without adding answers.
Stroke Is a Time-Critical Emergency
The single most important neurology message is recognising stroke fast. Use FAST: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call immediately. Treatment within the first hours dramatically changes outcomes — every minute of delay costs recoverable brain. Do not wait to see if symptoms pass.
Living With Long-Term Neurological Conditions
Epilepsy, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and migraine are managed over years, not fixed in one visit. Good management means correct classification, medication tuned over time, side-effect counselling, and coordination with neurological rehabilitation where function can be improved. Many patients live well for years with the right, regularly reviewed plan.
Investigations, Costs and Insurance
On-site EEG and nerve conduction studies, plus coordinated imaging, mean faster answers with fewer trips. Consultation and test rates are transparent and we work with most major insurers. Bring previous scans and a clear symptom timeline — in neurology, the history is often decisive.

Understanding Neurological Symptoms
Neurological symptoms are alarming partly because they are hard to interpret: a headache can be benign or serious, numbness can be trivial or a warning, dizziness has many possible causes. The value of a neurologist is pattern recognition — a careful history and examination usually localise the problem and decide whether it is urgent, long-term or harmless, often before any scan. This is why we investigate selectively rather than imaging every symptom; the right test is the one that will change your management.
Living Well With a Long-Term Neurological Condition
Conditions such as epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis are managed over years. Living well with them depends on understanding triggers, taking medication consistently, recognising early warning signs, and combining medical treatment with rehabilitation where function can be improved. Many patients maintain a good quality of life for a long time with a regularly reviewed plan and good day-to-day self-management, which we coach explicitly rather than leaving to chance.
Tests, Preparation and Cost
Bring previous scans and, importantly, a clear timeline of your symptoms — in neurology the history is often decisive. On-site EEG and nerve conduction studies, with coordinated imaging, mean faster answers and fewer trips. Consultation and test prices are transparent, and most major insurers are accepted. For stroke and other emergencies, do not book a routine appointment — call the emergency line immediately.
Further Questions
How do I prepare for an EEG?
Come with clean, product-free hair and a list of medicines. We advise individually if any medicine timing or sleep adjustment is needed.
Are recurring headaches ever serious?
Most are not, but new, severe, or changing headaches deserve assessment. We identify red-flag features and investigate only when warranted.
Can lifestyle reduce migraine attacks?
Yes — sleep regularity, hydration, trigger identification and a prevention plan substantially reduce attack frequency for many patients.
