Recently, many unique methods of diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases have been developed, which are giving proven results and are readily used by doctors.
CONSERVATIVE THERAPY
Today, there are many new protocols of conservative (medication based) therapy with the use of the latest generations of drugs of different classes and groups in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, neuralgia and polyneuropathies.
The drug regimen should be administered only after careful diagnostics and confirming the condition.
DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION
Deep brain stimulation is a modern, minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure that is actively used to treat patients with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, depression, epilepsy and is approved by the FDA. The procedure is similar in principle to the implantation of a pacemaker – a functionally similar electronic device is implanted in the patient’s body, and electrodes for stimulation are fixed in the brain. Electrodes are located in certain areas of the brain depending on the diagnosis of the patient, they are fed with electrical signals that cause the affected areas to function correctly.
TRANSCRANIAL ELECTROMAGNETIC THERAPY
An innovative method of treatment used to improve the quality of life and treatment of patients with impaired neural connections in the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The principle implies local or general action of electromagnetic waves on the brain, which leads to strengthening of neural connections and restoration of cognitive abilities, attention and memory of the patient.
The procedure is FDA approved, absolutely non-invasive and completely safe. Despite the fact that the procedure has no contraindications, the practicability of its designation should be determined exclusively by a neurologist and neurophysiologist. Transcranial electromagnetic stimulation includes NeuroAD and Brainsway technologies.
RNA INTERFERENCE
RNA interference is one of the encouraging methods in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
This procedure is yet in stage of clinical trials. RNA interference involves fighting the disease at the cellular level and preventing the death of nerve cells.
ELECTROSTIMULATION OF THE BRAIN
The method of electrostimulation of the brain is very well proven in the treatment of strokes and is used as an additional therapy. After using this technique, there is an improvement in the walls of the blood vessels and the patency of the vascular bed. Electrostimulation is also used to treat chronic pain syndrome.
Surgery for the implantation of the vagus nerve stimulator is used as one of the innovative techniques for the treatment of epilepsy. Use of this device reduces the number of attacks to almost half.
