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
- Tremors or shaking
- Muscle stiffness
- Slow body movements
- Difficulty walking
- Involuntary muscle contractions
- Chronic neurological pain
- Difficulty performing daily tasks
- Reduced coordination
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.
