Neurology Consultation at Chung-Ang University Hospital

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatments of disorders of the nervous system. Doctors who specialize in neurology are called neurologists.

If you experience symptoms that might be neurological, your GP may refer you to a neurologist for you to attend a neurology consultation. These symptoms may include:

• Severe headaches

• Dizziness

• Chronic pain, including pain with numbness or weakness

• Prolonged tingling or numbness on one side of your body

• Seizures

• Problems when walking

• Intense muscle weakness

• Certain vision problems

• Trouble speaking

• Sleep problems

• Memory problems

• Trouble speaking.

A neurologist can help find the cause of the symptoms and diagnose any neurological disease you may have. The goals of neurology consultation are as follows:

• Create an investigation plan to determine the diagnosis, stage, and prognosis of any neurological disease as accurately as possible

• Create a follow-up plan and therapy for patients who has a nervous system disease

• Identify those at risk for neurological disease and create a preventative plan to minimize the risk of the disease from developing, or, when possible, prevent the disease from developing altogether.

• Identify non-neurological diseases that have an influence on the nervous system.
