Neurology

Medical specialists in the field of neurology look after conditions affecting the nervous system, such as degenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease), hereditary diseases (e.g. Friedreich’s ataxia, muscular dystrophy), epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, primary headache (e.g. migraine), neuralgia, painful tics, etc. They also treat numerous pathologies, including vascular disease (stroke), neoplastic disease (primary brain tumour or metastasis of a systemic cancer), infectious diseases (e.g. meningitis, encephalitis). Neurologists can also be called upon to treat neuromuscular conditions affecting the muscles and peripheral nerves.
