Epilepsy Clinic
A small percentage of people with epilepsy do not respond to even highest doses of 3 or 4 drugs, which needs evaluation to find out the cause, and also whether surgery would be of benefit. At our centre, we have an expert team that can evaluate and perform the entire range of epilepsy surgery procedures that may be required in any patient. Our facilities include EEG, video EEG, SPECT, PET, advanced MRI and Neuronavigation, including the Brain Suite.
Movement Disorders Clinic
At times, when medications do not give relief in Parkinson's disease, surgery can be considered a good option in selected patients. The surgery preferred is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), in which electrodes are placed in certain special nuclei in the brain, and connected to a pacemaker placed (typically) below the left collar bone. This surgery usually results in significant benefit in all symptoms, such as tremors, stiffness and slowness of movements. Patients with Dystonias are also good candidates for surgical procedures, especially because these do not respond very favourably to medications. Apart from DBS, there are other options including other types of surgery, lesioning and also Botulinum Toxin (BoTox) injection.

Pain Clinic
Everyone has experienced pain sometime in life associated with damage or injury to our body parts and we expect it to get better once healing has occurred. Such pain which gets better with healing within acceptable time frame is called acute pain.
On the other hand the pain which persists beyond the normal healing time frame and is still present three months after the damage or injury is called Chronic Pain. Chronic pain can cause disability and may have multiple implications on patient’s life in the form of depression, anxiety, relationship and performance issues. Read More
