Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, leading to inflammation, demyelination, and neurological symptoms. Treatment includes disease-modifying therapies (interferons, monoclonal antibodies), corticosteroids for acute exacerbations, symptom management (physical therapy, muscle relaxants), and lifestyle adjustments to slow disease progression and improve patient function.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive movement disorder caused by dopamine deficiency in the brain. Treatment strategies include medications (levodopa, dopamine agonists), deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery to modulate abnormal brain activity, physical therapy to improve motor function, and supportive therapies to manage non-motor symptoms like depression and sleep disturbances.

Anxiety disorders encompass a range of conditions characterized by excessive fear, worry, and avoidance behaviors. Treatment involves psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy), medications (antidepressants, benzodiazepines), and lifestyle modifications (stress management, relaxation techniques) to alleviate symptoms and improve overall mental health.

Brain tumor surgery aims to remove benign or malignant tumors from the brain while preserving neurological function. Surgical techniques vary depending on tumor location, size, and type, often followed by radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies to eliminate remaining cancer cells and prevent recurrence.

DBS is a surgical procedure involving the implantation of electrodes in specific brain regions to modulate abnormal neural activity and alleviate symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. DBS therapy improves motor control, reduces medication dependency, and enhances quality of life for patients with debilitating movement disorders.

Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, and feelings of hopelessness. Treatment includes psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy), antidepressant medications (SSRIs, SNRIs), and lifestyle modifications (regular exercise, social support) to alleviate symptoms, improve coping skills, and prevent relapse.

Interventional neuroradiology uses minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging techniques to diagnose and treat vascular conditions of the central nervous system, such as cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and acute stroke. Procedures include endovascular coiling, stenting, and thrombectomy, aimed at restoring blood flow, reducing neurological damage, and improving patient outcomes.

Spine disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the vertebral column, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis. Treatment options vary from conservative approaches (physical therapy, medications) to surgical interventions (spinal fusion, laminectomy) aimed at relieving pain, stabilizing the spine, and improving mobility and quality of life for patients.
