The Wockhardt Center of Neurosciences offers a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to the care of adult and pediatric patients with disorders of the brain, spine and nervous system, as well as neurologic complications of other diseases. Our expert neurologists and neurosurgeons are supported by the most extensive neuro-diagnostic and imaging facilities. The patients can avail of the following facilities at the center.

• EEG (Electroencephalogram) - A 32 channel digital video EEG Polysonography with features of selectable 21 channels and 24 hours sleep lab.
• EMG (Electromyograph) - with evoke potential system has 8 channel EMG & EP amplifier with VEP to conduct bone, nerve, tendon conduction studies with oscilloscopes. It also has the MER for movement disorders.
• Carotid Doppler - Important for seeing the status of extracranial vessels
• DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) unit - For neurovascular studies and neurovascular angiography. It is useful to treat aneurysms and carry out neuro-intervention procedures.
• Sensation 10 CT Scanner - It has a multi slice technology, true isotropic resolution feature and requires low radiation dose to the patient. The patient is at ease and it does not miss out even small lesions.
• CT Angio - An advantage in patients with high risk, suspected to have aneurysms following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
• Symphony MRI - with dedicated 8-channel head coil for advanced neuro-imaging. The patient will be benefitted with unmatched resolution and shorter examination time. The combination coil concept results in shorter time and examination of the whole system without patient repositioning.
• OPMI Multivision - It's a new generation microscope for neuro navigation. It has a facility of image injection, auto-focus based on laser principle and Contraves Counterbalance Technology. The surgeon can connect neuroendoscope with this microscope and superimpose live image with CT and MR.

Neurology at Wockhardt Center of Neurosciences has a tradition of excellence by providing outstanding clinical care for various neurological disorders. There are various specialty services offered through different disease specific Programs like:

• Epilepsy Support Program
• Stroke Support Program
• Parkinsonism Support Program
• Headache Support Program

Specialty support program services provide focused approach to the treatment of these disorders and look at the disease in a holistic way.

Neuro Interventional radiology (IR) procedures are new advancement in medicine. Advanced training of Interventional Radiologists with imaging guidance, can diagnose and treat a large number of ailments with no large incisions, less risk, less pain and shorter recovery time. Interventional radiologists perform a vast variety of procedures, the common ones include:

• Coil Embolisation of Intra Cerebral Aneurysms
• Carotid Vertebral Angioplasty   Stenting
• Intra Arterial   Cerebral Venous Thrombolysis.
• Pre Operative Embolisation of Tumours

Neurosurgery or Brain surgery once was considered one of the most frightful events. Today, however, with improving technology and the gradual unfolding of scientific understanding of the brain, patients and families can look forward to neurosurgery without any fear. Certain advancements in neurosurgeries, which are performed at the Wockhardt Center of Neurosciences, are listed below.

• Skull Base Surgery
• Endoscopic Neurosurgery
• Key Hole Approach Surgery
• Minimally Invasive Tailored Surgeries
• Stereotacic and Functional Neurosurgery
• Intraventricular surgery with ventriculoscopes
• Neurovascular surgery

Neurosurgery today offers a risk similar to that associated with other surgeries. With such advancement of neurosurgical techniques, the Wockhardt Center of Neurosciences offers treatment of various disorders like

• Benign and Malignant Brain Tumors
• Neuroendocrine   Pitutary Disorder
• Developmental   Pediatric brain disorders
• Brain Trauma
• Stroke
• Aneurysms and AVMs
• Spinal disorders
• Peripheral Nerve Disorders

The emphasis again is on focused approach to the treatment. The involvement of neurologists, neurosurgeons, physicians, radiologists, physiotherapists, and psychiatrists provides a comprehensive and coordinated team effort to the management of various disorders.

Physiotherapy Services has specialized programs to meet the needs of patients -- from the treatment of acute injuries through physical therapy. Our specialized programs for brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke enable patients to reach their maximum potential.

Includes behavioral and psychological interventions to aid patient and their families in coping with disability. It specifically serves persons with neurological conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, Epilepsy and brain trauma. These services are provided across the continuum of recovery, to improve function and quality of life.

With a patient centric approach, emphasis is given not only to the patient but also his/her family, hence the Patient - Family Support Programs. These programs involve forming a disease specific patient group. The main aim of such patient - family support groups is to maximize independence in performing activities of daily living. The program involves learning sessions for patients as well as their families.
activities of such learning sessions involve valuable lectures by experts on:

• Understanding disease
• Their treatment
• Their effects on daily living
• Lifting morale and motivation for an independent life
• Physical rehabilitation
• Psychosocial training and education

Patient - Family Support Programs is meant for complete medical, physical behavioral and psychological rejuvenation.

• Epilepsy Support Program
• Stroke Support Program
• Parkinsonism Support Program
• Headache Support Program
• Geriatric Support Program
• Benign and Malignant Brain Tumor surgery
• Neuroendocrine & Pitutary Disorder Surgery
• Neurosurgery for Developmental & Pediatric brain disorders
• Neurosurgery for Brain Trauma
• Interventional radiology procedures and surgery for Aneurysms and AVMs
