Common Conditions We Treat
Expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of neurological conditions at Neurovision Clinic, Ranchi.
Migraine
Migraine is a complex neurological condition characterized by recurrent, often severe headaches, typically on one side of the head. It is far more than just a 'bad headache' — migraines involve abnormal brain activity affecting nerve signals, chemicals, and blood vessels. Attacks can last from 4 to 72 hours and are frequently accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Some people experience an 'aura' before or during the headache — visual disturbances like flashing lights, zigzag patterns, or blind spots. Migraines affect approximately 15% of the population and are three times more common in women than men, often triggered by hormonal changes, stress, certain foods, weather changes, or sleep disturbances.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by a tendency to have recurrent, unprovoked seizures. A seizure is a sudden surge of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affects how a person feels, moves, or behaves. Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder worldwide. It can develop at any age, though it is most commonly diagnosed in children and older adults. The condition has many possible causes including genetic factors, head trauma, stroke, brain infections, and developmental disorders — but in about half of cases, no specific cause is identified. With proper diagnosis and treatment, most people with epilepsy can lead full, active lives.
Stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. Stroke is a medical emergency — prompt treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and maximize recovery. There are two main types: ischemic stroke (caused by a blocked artery, accounting for about 87% of cases) and hemorrhagic stroke (caused by a ruptured blood vessel). Stroke can affect movement, speech, cognition, vision, and emotional regulation. Stroke rehabilitation is the structured process of helping a stroke survivor regain as much function and independence as possible while preventing future strokes.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. It occurs when nerve cells (neurons) in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra gradually break down or die. These neurons produce dopamine, a chemical messenger essential for smooth, coordinated movement. As dopamine levels decrease, the characteristic motor symptoms of Parkinson's appear — tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement, and balance problems. Parkinson's is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. While it typically develops after age 60, about 5-10% of cases are 'young-onset' Parkinson's (before age 50). With modern treatment, people with Parkinson's can maintain good quality of life for many years.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves — the vast communication network that transmits information between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and every other part of the body. When these nerves are damaged, they can send faulty signals, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of coordination. Peripheral neuropathy can affect sensory nerves (sensation), motor nerves (movement), or autonomic nerves (involuntary functions like blood pressure, digestion, and bladder control). It can be caused by many conditions — diabetes is the most common cause, responsible for about 60% of cases — as well as vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, infections, toxins, and hereditary conditions.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel — a narrow passageway in the wrist formed by carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament. The median nerve provides sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger, and controls some small muscles at the base of the thumb. When the tunnel narrows or surrounding tissues swell, the nerve is compressed, causing numbness, tingling, pain, and eventually weakness in the hand. CTS is the most common entrapment neuropathy. It often affects people who perform repetitive hand and wrist motions (typing, assembly line work, using vibrating tools) but can also occur due to pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid disorders, arthritis, or wrist anatomy.
Spine Disorders
Spine disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the vertebral column (backbone) and its associated structures — intervertebral discs, joints, ligaments, and the spinal cord and nerve roots that pass through it. When spine problems compress or irritate nerve roots, patients experience not just back or neck pain, but radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. Common conditions include: herniated (slipped) disc — the soft inner gel of a disc protrudes and presses on a nerve; spinal stenosis — narrowing of the spinal canal compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots; spondylosis — age-related wear and tear/degeneration of the spine; sciatica — compression of the sciatic nerve (the body's largest nerve) causing pain from the lower back down the leg; and cervical radiculopathy — a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm symptoms. Dr. Yuvraj Lahre provides expert medical (non-surgical) management of these conditions.
Dementia
Dementia is not a single disease but a clinical syndrome characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function — memory, thinking, reasoning, language, and judgment — severe enough to interfere with daily life and independence. It results from damage to or loss of nerve cells and their connections in the brain. The most common cause is Alzheimer's disease, accounting for 60 to 70 percent of cases, where abnormal deposits of amyloid plaques and tau tangles disrupt neuronal function. Vascular dementia, the second most common type, results from reduced cerebral blood flow due to strokes or small vessel disease. Lewy body dementia involves abnormal alpha-synuclein protein deposits and features cognitive fluctuations, visual hallucinations, and Parkinson-like motor symptoms. Frontotemporal dementia affects the frontal and temporal lobes, causing prominent personality, behavior, and language changes, often at a younger age. Dementia is not a normal part of aging — it is a pathological condition that requires medical evaluation and management.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves). In MS, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks myelin — the protective fatty sheath that insulates nerve fibers and enables rapid, efficient transmission of electrical impulses. This demyelination disrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body, producing a wide range of neurological symptoms that vary between individuals. MS typically follows one of several patterns: relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) — the most common form, with clearly defined attacks followed by periods of recovery; secondary progressive MS (SPMS) — gradual steady progression after an initial relapsing course; and primary progressive MS (PPMS) — steady progression from onset without distinct relapses. MS affects approximately 2.8 million people worldwide, with higher prevalence in women and typically presents between ages 20 and 40.
Vertigo
Vertigo is the illusion of movement — a false sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, tilting, or swaying when neither is occurring. It indicates dysfunction somewhere in the vestibular system, which comprises the inner ear's balance organs (semicircular canals and otolith organs), the vestibular nerve (cranial nerve VIII), and the brainstem and cerebellar processing centers. Vertigo is distinct from other forms of dizziness: lightheadedness (feeling faint, usually cardiovascular), disequilibrium (unsteadiness without spinning, often from sensory deficits in the elderly), and non-specific dizziness (vague spatial disorientation, often from anxiety). The distinction is critical — the word the patient uses determines the diagnostic pathway. Through careful history-taking, Dr. Yuvraj Lahre precisely characterizes the type of dizziness and follows the appropriate diagnostic algorithm.
Bell's Palsy
Bell's palsy is an acute, idiopathic peripheral facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) paralysis causing sudden weakness or complete paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. The facial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression, tear and saliva production, taste from the front two-thirds of the tongue, and a small muscle in the ear. When the nerve becomes inflamed and swollen within its narrow bony passage (the fallopian canal), signal transmission is blocked, resulting in unilateral facial weakness. The onset is typically dramatic — patients often wake up with facial drooping or notice it while brushing teeth or drinking. Bell's palsy is the most common cause of unilateral facial paralysis, affecting approximately 20 to 30 per 100,000 people per year, with peak incidence in the third to fifth decades. Pregnancy (especially third trimester) and diabetes increase the risk.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder of the trigeminal nerve (the fifth cranial nerve, which provides sensation to the face and motor function to the muscles of mastication). It is characterized by recurrent, sudden, brief (seconds to under two minutes), extremely intense, electric shock-like or stabbing pain in one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve — most commonly the maxillary (V2) or mandibular (V3) divisions, affecting the cheek, jaw, teeth, gums, and sometimes the forehead and eye (ophthalmic division, V1). The pain is triggered by innocuous mechanical stimuli such as light touch, chewing, talking, brushing teeth, shaving, washing the face, or even a breeze. The condition is unilateral in 97 percent of cases. In the classic form, neurovascular compression (usually by the superior cerebellar artery) at the trigeminal nerve root entry zone causes focal demyelination and ephaptic transmission between A-beta touch fibers and nociceptive fibers — meaning a light touch signal triggers pain. TN is rare, with an incidence of 4 to 13 per 100,000 people per year, slightly more common in women, and typically begins after age 50.
Essential Tremor
Essential tremor (ET) is a chronic, progressive neurological movement disorder characterized by rhythmic, involuntary shaking (oscillation) of a body part, most commonly the hands and arms, that occurs primarily during voluntary movement (action tremor) or when maintaining a posture against gravity (postural tremor). It is the most common movement disorder, affecting an estimated 4 percent of adults over 40 and up to 10 percent of those over 80. ET is frequently bilateral but often asymmetric. The tremor frequency is typically 4 to 12 Hz and the amplitude progressively worsens over years to decades. While ET is not life-threatening, it can be profoundly disabling — interfering with eating, drinking, writing, personal grooming, and occupational tasks. Social embarrassment, anxiety, and reduced quality of life are common. In approximately 50 percent or more of cases, ET has a genetic component with autosomal dominant inheritance (hence the term 'familial tremor'), and multiple causative genes have been identified. The pathophysiology involves dysfunction of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit, with the VIM nucleus of the thalamus playing a central role in tremor generation.
Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction — the specialized synapse where motor nerves communicate with voluntary muscles. In MG, autoantibodies (most commonly against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, AChR) attack, block, and destroy the receptor proteins on the muscle side of the synapse. This reduces the number of functional receptors, so when the nerve releases acetylcholine, the muscle receives a weaker signal than normal. The result is fluctuating, fatigueable muscle weakness — muscles that become progressively weaker with sustained or repeated use and recover partially or fully after rest. MG affects voluntary muscles throughout the body, with a predilection for the ocular muscles (causing ptosis and diplopia), bulbar muscles (causing dysphagia, dysarthria, and chewing fatigue), and proximal limb muscles. The disease course is variable: about 50 percent of patients present with ocular symptoms only, though 80 percent of these progress to generalized disease within two years. MG occurs at any age with a bimodal distribution — younger women (20-40) and older men (60-80). With modern treatment, most patients achieve good symptom control and normal life expectancy.
Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders are a group of conditions that impair the ability to get sufficient, restorative sleep on a regular basis, resulting in daytime dysfunction, reduced quality of life, and adverse health outcomes. Sleep is an active, complex neurological process controlled by the interplay of two systems: the circadian system (the internal biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, regulating the timing of sleep and wake) and the homeostatic system (the drive to sleep that builds with time awake). Sleep is composed of non-REM sleep (stages N1, N2, N3/deep slow-wave sleep) and REM sleep (rapid eye movement sleep, when most dreaming occurs), cycling through these stages in approximately 90-minute cycles throughout the night. Different sleep disorders disrupt different aspects of this architecture: insomnia affects sleep initiation and maintenance; sleep apnea fragments sleep through recurrent breathing pauses; RLS prevents sleep onset; narcolepsy involves intrusion of REM sleep into wakefulness; and REM sleep behavior disorder involves loss of the normal muscle paralysis during REM. Chronic sleep deficiency is linked to hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, cognitive decline, and impaired immune function.
Advanced Diagnostic Tests
We use state-of-the-art technology to accurately diagnose and monitor neurological conditions.
EEG (Electroencephalogram)
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the brain. Small metal discs called electrodes are placed on the scalp using a conductive paste. These electrodes detect the tiny electrical impulses generated by brain cells (neurons) as they communicate. The signals are amplified and recorded as wavy lines on a computer, creating a real-time map of brain activity. EEG is one of the most important tools in neurology for diagnosing epilepsy and seizure disorders, but it also provides valuable information about sleep disorders, brain infections, encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), and altered states of consciousness.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive imaging technique that uses powerful magnets, radio waves, and computer processing to create highly detailed cross-sectional images of the body's internal structures. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it safer for repeated use. In neurology, MRI is the gold standard for imaging the brain and spinal cord — it can detect tumors, strokes, multiple sclerosis plaques, structural abnormalities, disc herniations, and subtle changes not visible on other imaging modalities. Dr. Yuvraj Lahre at Neurovision Clinic coordinates MRI scans at trusted imaging centers in Ranchi and personally interprets the results in the context of your complete neurological evaluation.
CT Scan (Computed Tomography)
CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images (slices) of the body. In neurology, CT scans of the brain provide rapid, vital information in emergency situations. A brain CT can quickly detect bleeding (hemorrhage), skull fractures, large tumors, and major structural abnormalities. Because a CT scan takes only a few minutes, it is the first-line imaging test for suspected acute stroke, head trauma, and neurological emergencies where time is critical. Dr. Yuvraj Lahre at Neurovision Clinic coordinates CT scans at trusted centers in Ranchi and provides expert neurological interpretation in the context of your full clinical picture.
NCS — Nerve Conduction Study
A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS), also called a Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) test, is a diagnostic procedure that measures how quickly and effectively electrical impulses travel along your peripheral nerves. During the test, small surface electrodes are placed on the skin overlying specific nerves, and a mild, brief electrical stimulus is delivered to activate the nerve. The resulting electrical response is recorded, and the speed (conduction velocity) and amplitude (signal strength) are calculated. These measurements help determine whether a nerve is functioning normally or has been damaged by compression, disease, or injury. NCS is often performed alongside electromyography (EMG) for a comprehensive neuromuscular assessment, though each test provides distinct and complementary information. At Neurovision Clinic in Ranchi, Dr. Yuvraj Lahre (DM Neurology, AIIMS, Gold Medalist) personally oversees all NCS studies using modern digital equipment that ensures high accuracy and patient comfort. The test typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many nerves are studied, and results are available the same day.
VEP — Visual Evoked Potential
A Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) test is a non-invasive electrophysiological procedure that measures the electrical activity generated in the visual cortex of the brain in response to visual stimuli. During the test, the patient sits in front of a screen displaying a checkerboard pattern that alternates at a fixed frequency, while small recording electrodes placed on the scalp over the occipital region detect the brain's response. The time it takes for the visual signal to travel from the retina, through the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and optic tract, to reach the visual cortex is recorded as the P100 latency — the key measurement in standard pattern-reversal VEP. A delayed P100 latency indicates demyelination or conduction block somewhere along the visual pathway, most classically in optic neuritis. Though the test involves visual stimulation, it is fundamentally a neurophysiological investigation of brain function rather than an eye examination. At Neurovision Clinic in Ranchi, Dr. Yuvraj Lahre (DM Neurology, AIIMS, Gold Medalist) interprets all VEP tracings, correlating the electrophysiological findings with the patient's clinical presentation and neuroimaging results. The test takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, is entirely painless, and does not require any injections or radiation exposure.
