Rehabilitation of neurological conditions: A path to recovery

Neurological conditions, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and traumatic brain injury, can profoundly impact one’s life. These conditions often affect movement, speech, memory, and other critical functions. Rehabilitation plays a vital role in managing these impacts, helping patients regain independence and improve their quality of life. Leading consultant in rehabilitation medicine, Dr Emer McGilloway, who practises at Cleveland Clinic London discusses all you need to know.

Cerebral small vessel disease and why it's so important

Even though cerebral small vessel disease is very common, you may never have heard of it. It affects most older people but should not be thought of as part of the normal ageing process. It can also be seen in younger adults. It’s entirely possible to have it yet not know about it. Very often small vessel disease goes undetected. But if it is identified then it is sensible to think about how to reduce the risk of it causing future problems. Here to provide an in-depth look at this condition is leading consultant neurologist and vascular neurology specialist Professor Hedley Emsley.

Neurorehabilitation following a TIA: What’s involved?

Transient ischaemic attack (TIA), often referred to as a mini-stroke, is a temporary interruption in blood flow to the brain, resulting in transient neurological symptoms. While TIAs typically resolve within 24 hours, they serve as warning signs of an increased risk of a full-blown stroke. Neurorehabilitation following a TIA plays a crucial role in minimising the risk of future strokes and optimising recovery. Leading consultant neurologist, stroke and rehabilitation physician Dr Arvind Chandratheva who practises at the Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation Unit, has provided a detailed guide about this process, below.

Navigating brain tumour recovery

Neuroimages post-treatment are like before-and-after snapshots, vital for monitoring brain tumour impact. Neuroradiologists face the challenge of distinguishing tumour relapse from treatment effects. In his latest online article, Professor Sotirios Bisadas explores advanced imaging techniques, follow-up frequency, and the role of technology and skilled neuroradiologists in accurate diagnosis.

MRI for brain tumours: how does it work?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body's internal structures, and is an integral method for assessing brain tumours. Revered neuroradiologist Professor Sotirios Bisdas explains how MRIs are used to diagnose brain tumours, the difference between malignant and benign tumours, and how MRI results can affect treatment plans.
