About the department

What neurologists treat

Neurology deals with the brain, spinal cord and nerves. A neurologist investigates headaches and migraine, fits (seizures), giddiness, numbness and weakness, memory changes and tremor, and manages long-term conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Neurologists treat with medicines and rehabilitation; when an operation is needed, they work with a neurosurgeon.

When it is an emergency

Sudden face drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech may be a stroke — call your emergency number immediately; treatment is time-critical. The same applies to the worst headache of your life, a fit lasting more than five minutes, or a head injury followed by drowsiness.

When to see a neurologist

These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.

Headaches that are getting more frequent, or waking you at night
A first-ever fit, or blackouts you cannot account for
Numbness, tingling or weakness in a hand, foot or one side
Tremor, stiffness or a change in the way you walk
Memory or word-finding difficulty that family have noticed
Giddiness or unsteadiness that keeps coming back
Tests and scans

What a consultation may include

Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.

  • MRI brain and spine
  • CT brain, usually first in an emergency
  • EEG for seizure activity
  • Nerve conduction studies (NCV)
  • Blood tests for vitamin B12, thyroid and sugar
Questions, answered

Neurology — common questions

No. A neurologist diagnoses and treats brain and nerve conditions with medicines and rehabilitation. A neurosurgeon operates. Most patients see a neurologist first, and only some go on to need surgery.

Not usually. Booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan. Your neurologist decides which imaging, if any, will actually answer the question.

A simple diary helps most: how often the headaches come, how long they last, what you were doing beforehand, and every painkiller you have taken — including over-the-counter ones, since frequent use can itself keep headaches going.

Please bring someone if your problem involves blackouts, fits or memory. What an observer saw is often more useful to a neurologist than what you remember.
