A course by Dr. Sudeshna Ganguly
Spanning over three interactive learning sessions, the course covers the three devils of neurology in emergency response, that are, headache, seizure and vertigo.
Overview of Conquer Each Devil of Neurology: Headache, Seizure & Vertigo
The three neurological conditions of headache, vertigo, and seizures require a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests as these conditions can arise from various underlying factors including neurological disorders, metabolic imbalances, trauma, and infections. Treatment options vary based on the underlying cause and symptom severity. For example, headaches can be managed with pain relievers, prescription medications, and lifestyle modifications. Vertigo can be treated with medications, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, and anti-nausea drugs. Seizures can be treated with medication, surgery, and lifestyle modifications. A tailored treatment plan is necessary to manage these conditions effectively and improve quality of life.
