Apollo Adlux Hospital offers comprehensive neurology care for patients from Kochi, Ernakulam, Thrissur and nearby regions. The Department of Neurology provides evaluation and treatment for stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, movement disorders, migraine, dementia, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, neuromuscular diseases and other conditions affecting the brain, spine and nervous system.

Patients have access to neurological consultations, emergency stroke care, neurodiagnostic tests, neuro-interventional procedures, Neuro ICU support and comprehensive neurorehabilitation under one multidisciplinary care programme.

You should consult a neurologist when you experience recurring headaches, seizures, tremors, memory loss, dizziness, numbness, muscle weakness, balance problems, difficulty walking, speech changes or unexplained loss of consciousness. Persistent neurological symptoms should be assessed early to identify the underlying condition and begin appropriate treatment.

Sudden facial drooping, weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, loss of balance, an unusually severe headache or sudden unconsciousness may indicate a stroke or another neurological emergency. In such situations, the patient should be taken to a hospital immediately.

Yes. Apollo Adlux Hospital provides emergency evaluation and treatment for ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke and other cerebrovascular emergencies. Stroke care may include rapid neurological assessment, emergency brain imaging, thrombolysis for eligible patients and endovascular stroke intervention when clinically indicated.

The stroke-care programme also includes carotid Doppler evaluation, neurological monitoring, Neuro ICU support and post-stroke rehabilitation. Physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and swallowing rehabilitation may be integrated to help patients recover movement, communication and daily functional abilities.

The Department of Neurology is supported by neurodiagnostic services such as electroencephalogram, prolonged video EEG monitoring, electromyography, nerve-conduction assessment, carotid Doppler, autonomic function tests and SUDOSCAN evaluation. These tests help doctors assess seizures, epilepsy, nerve damage, muscle disorders, stroke risk and autonomic nervous-system conditions.

The appropriate neurological test is selected based on the patient’s symptoms, clinical examination and medical history. Test results are interpreted together with brain or spine imaging and other investigations to support an accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plan.

Apollo Adlux Hospital treats a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, tremors, dystonia, migraine, chronic headache, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune encephalitis, meningitis, encephalitis, peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, myasthenia gravis and motor neuron disease.

Specialised services also include paediatric neurology, movement-disorder care, botulinum toxin injections, deep brain stimulation evaluation, aneurysm coiling, endovascular embolisation, flow-diverter placement, sleep-disorder assessment and comprehensive neurorehabilitation.
