Know the Basics -

Understanding Functional Neurosurgery

Functional neurosurgery involves specialized procedures that target specific areas of the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system responsible for abnormal neurological activity.

Unlike surgeries performed to remove tumors or treat structural abnormalities, functional neurosurgery focuses on improving how the nervous system functions and communicates.

Conditions That May Benefit from Functional Neurosurgery

Parkinson’s Disease

A progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and muscle control.

Essential Tremor

An involuntary shaking disorder that commonly affects the hands and daily activities.

Dystonia

A neurological condition causing abnormal muscle contractions and repetitive movements.

Neurological Pain Disorders

Certain pain conditions that may benefit from the advanced neurosurgical treatment approaches.

Know the Signs That Need Evaluation

Functional neurological disorders can affect movement, coordination, speech, and daily activities

Causes & Risk Factors of Functional Neurological Disorders

Many conditions treated through functional neurosurgery develop due to abnormalities in the way nerve cells communicate within the brain and nervous system.

Genetic Factors
Certain inherited traits may increase the risk of neurological disorders.
Previous Neurological Injury
Brain injuries may affect normal neurological function and coordination.
Family History
A family history of neurological conditions may increase susceptibility.
Abnormal Neurotransmitter Activity
Chemical imbalances in the brain can affect movement and coordination.
Unknown Causes
Some neurological disorders develop without a clearly identifiable cause.
Neurodegenerative Conditions
Progressive neurological diseases can affect brain function over time.
Brain Circuit Abnormalities
Disruptions in brain signaling pathways may contribute to movement disorders.
Environmental Influences
Certain environmental exposures may contribute to neurological dysfunction.
Chronic Neurological Conditions
Long-standing neurological disorders may gradually worsen over time.
Increasing Age
Many movement-related neurological disorders become more common with advancing age.
