The Department of Neurology at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals, Raipur functions as an advanced centre for neurological sciences delivering specialised care for disorders involving the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. The clinical programme is structured to address time-sensitive neurological emergencies as well as complex, long-term neurological conditions (all delivered through a systematic and protocol-driven approach).

The department comprises experienced neurologists with focused expertise across stroke neurology, epilepsy, movement disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and cognitive disorders, supported by an integrated team of neurointensivists, neuroradiologists, and rehabilitation professionals to ensure coordinated care delivery.

Diagnostic capability is anchored in a comprehensive neurodiagnostic ecosystem, including advanced neuroimaging (MRI, CT), electrophysiological testing (EEG, Video-EEG, EMG/NCS) and vascular imaging modalities enabling the best neuro doctors to perform in depth clinical evaluation and timely decision making all under a single roof.

A dedicated Neurocritical Care Unit (Neuro-ICU) operates with continuous specialist supervision, supporting the management of acute conditions such as stroke, status epilepticus, central nervous system infections, and neuromuscular crises requiring intensive monitoring. Care delivery is organised across a continuum of neurological services, integrating diagnostics, medical management, interventional procedures and structured neurorehabilitation to support recovery, functional restoration and long-term disease control.

Neurological Conditions We Treat

The nervous system is involved in virtually every aspect of human function, which means neurological disease can present in an extraordinary variety of ways. Our department manages the following principal conditions:

• Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease: Ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, transient ischaemic attacks, and cerebral venous thrombosis are managed as time-critical emergencies with established reperfusion and supportive protocols.
• Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders: New-onset seizures, established epilepsy, drug-resistant epilepsy, and status epilepticus including specific management for women with epilepsy around contraception and pregnancy.
• Headache Disorders and Migraine: Migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache, and medication overuse headache, with investigation for secondary causes and both acute and preventive treatment strategies.
• Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders: Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and other movement disorders are managed with pharmacological optimisation, Botox therapy, and surgical referral for Deep Brain Stimulation in appropriate cases.
• Dementia and Cognitive Disorders: Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia require structured cognitive assessment, investigation for reversible causes, pharmacological treatment and family counselling.
• Multiple Sclerosis and Demyelinating Disease: Newly diagnosed and established MS managed with disease-modifying therapies, relapse treatment, and symptom management across the disease course.
• Peripheral Neuropathy and Nerve Pain: Diabetic, autoimmune, nutritional, and hereditary neuropathies characterised with EMG/NCS studies and managed with targeted therapy for both the underlying cause and symptomatic pain.
• Neuromuscular Disease: Myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, muscular dystrophies, and inflammatory myopathies are diagnosed using neurophysiology and relevant blood tests and managed with immunotherapy where indicated.
• Meningitis, Encephalitis, and CNS Infections: Neurological emergencies requiring urgent CSF analysis, early antimicrobial therapy and Neuro-ICU management to minimise long-term neurological damage.
• Vertigo and Balance Disorders: Central and peripheral causes of vertigo evaluated with clinical examination and imaging where indicated (managed with targeted vestibular or neurological treatment).
• Spinal Cord Disorders: Cervical myelopathy, transverse myelitis and traumatic spinal injury managed in coordination with neurosurgery and spine surgery colleagues.
• Paediatric Neurology: Childhood epilepsy, developmental delay, and neurodevelopmental disorders managed with appropriate investigation and referral pathways for complex cases.

Neurodiagnostic Facilities at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals

Accurate neurological diagnosis depends as much on the right investigation as it does on clinical examination. We have invested in a neurodiagnostics infrastructure that allows our team to give treatment quickly and accurately, and without sending patients elsewhere.

• Neuroimaging
  • MRI Brain and Spine: Primary imaging for most neurological conditions including identifying stroke lesions, tumours, demyelination, white matter disease, and spinal cord pathology.
  • CT Brain and Spine: First-line in emergencies - rapid exclusion of haemorrhagic stroke before thrombolysis, and assessment of acute head trauma where speed of acquisition matters above all.
  • CT and MR Angiography: Non-invasive vascular imaging to evaluate cerebral arteries and veins including aneurysms, AVMs, carotid stenosis, and cerebral venous thrombosis.
  • Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA): Definitive cerebrovascular imaging for cases requiring confirmation and as the platform for endovascular intervention.
• Neurophysiology
  • EEG: Records brain electrical activity to diagnose epilepsy, classify seizure type, and evaluate encephalopathy or altered consciousness.
  • Video-EEG Monitoring: Simultaneous video and EEG during clinical events for distinguishing epileptic from non-epileptic attacks and for pre-surgical localisation.
  • EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies: Evaluate peripheral nerve and muscle function to distinguish neuropathy from myopathy, localise the site of nerve damage and guide the diagnosis of weakness and sensory disturbances.
  • Evoked Potentials: Test the integrity of visual, auditory, and somatosensory pathways used in MS diagnosis, intraoperative monitoring, and coma assessment.
• Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis
  • Lumbar puncture with CSF analysis is essential for meningitis, encephalitis, subarachnoid haemorrhage with normal CT and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Cell count, protein, glucose, culture, and specialist testing are performed as clinically indicated.
• Neurocritical Care Infrastructure
  • Dedicated Neuro-ICU: Continuous monitoring, neurologist oversight, and skilled nursing for acute stroke, status epilepticus, severe head injury, and other neurological emergencies 24 hours a day.
  • Interventional Neuroradiology: Endovascular capabilities for mechanical thrombectomy in stroke, cerebral aneurysm coiling, AVM embolisation, and carotid stenting are minimally invasive procedures that have changed outcomes in cerebrovascular disease.

Neurology Treatments and Procedures

Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals offers a full spectrum of neurology treatments and procedures:

• Stroke Management: Stroke is treated as the emergency it is. Intravenous thrombolysis is administered within 4.5 hours of ischaemic stroke onset in eligible patients. Mechanical thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusion extends the treatment window further. Our stroke pathway activates the moment a patient arrives including immediate CT imaging, neurologist assessment, and protocol-driven reperfusion decision without delay.
• Epilepsy Management: Epilepsy management starts with accurate diagnosis, because not every episode of shaking is a seizure. Once the diagnosis and seizure type are established, medication is selected based on seizure type, patient profile, and co-existing conditions. Drug-resistant patients are assessed for dietary, device-based, and surgical options. Women with epilepsy receive specific guidance on contraceptive interactions, pre-conception planning, and pregnancy management.
• Movement Disorder Management: Parkinson's disease is managed with an individually optimised regimen adjusted over time as the condition evolves. For patients with motor fluctuations inadequately controlled by medication, we facilitate Deep Brain Stimulation evaluation. Botox injections are administered in clinics for dystonia, hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, and spasticity.
• Headache and Migraine Treatment: Headache management begins with a detailed clinical history including frequency, character, triggers, associated features, and medication history. We classify the headache type, screen for secondary causes, and develop a plan covering both acute treatment and prevention. Many patients who have struggled with headaches for years achieve meaningful improvement with a structured specialist approach.
• Dementia and Memory Disorders: Memory clinic consultations include structured cognitive testing, relevant blood investigations to exclude reversible causes, and neuroimaging. When dementia is diagnosed, we initiate pharmacological treatment, provide detailed family counselling on what to expect, and coordinate ongoing care because dementia affects caregivers as profoundly as it affects patients.
• Neurorehabilitation: For patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, or Guillain-Barré syndrome, recovery does not end when they are medically stable. Physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support continue through the inpatient stay and into the outpatient phase. Goals are set with the patient and family, progress is tracked, and the programme is adjusted as recovery unfolds.

Our Expert Team of Neurology Doctors

Neurological conditions are complex, often frightening, and rarely simple to navigate without specialist guidance. Whether you are managing a long-term condition, dealing with a new and unexplained symptom or supporting a family member through a neurological diagnosis, our team at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals, Raipur is here for you. Our doctors combine advanced diagnostic capabilities with individualised treatment planning ensuring that every patient receives comprehensive care based on scientific evidence.

Why Choose Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals?

CARE Hospitals is recognised as the best Neurology hospital in Raipur for:

• Qualified Neurologists With Subspecialty Depth: Our neurologists are not generalists who occasionally see neuro cases. They are trained specialists with experience across stroke neurology, epilepsy, movement disorders, neuromuscular disease, and headache medicine (each condition receiving the focused expertise it demands).
• Neurological Emergencies Managed Around the Clock: Acute stroke, status epilepticus, Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenic crisis - these are conditions where hours, sometimes minutes, determine outcomes. Our Neuro-ICU operates 24 hours a day with neurologists and intensivists available on call continuously.
• Diagnostic Technology Under One Roof: MRI, CT, EEG, Video-EEG, EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies, Evoked Potentials, and lumbar puncture services all within the hospital. Patients do not travel between facilities to complete a diagnostic workup.
• Stroke Treatment That Meets International Standards: Intravenous thrombolysis (clot-busting therapy) within the 4.5-hour window, and intra-arterial intervention (where indicated) are delivered by a team that understands the specific nature of stroke as a time-critical emergency.
• Epilepsy Care That Goes Beyond Medication: Our epilepsy clinic goes beyond prescribing anticonvulsants. We investigate for treatable underlying causes, monitor medication response, provide patient and family education and identify surgical candidates where drug-resistant epilepsy warrants further evaluation.
• Continuity From Acute Treatment to Rehabilitation: Stroke and brain injury recovery does not end when a patient is medically stable. Our neurorehabilitation team provides physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy to support continued recovery beyond discharge.
• Accessible From Across Chhattisgarh: Patients from Bilaspur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Jagdalpur, and beyond regularly attend our neurology department because the alternative would be a journey to Nagpur, Hyderabad, or further. That distance matters when someone is unwell.
