Neurologist's appointment
Specialists diagnose neurological symptoms. Among the disorders of NS, it is customary to distinguish several groups of clinical signs — pain syndrome, motor and/or sensory disorders, coordination disorders, pelvic disorders and general symptoms.
Neurology deals with the study of the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and/or spinal cord, as well as the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which includes spinal roots, peripheral nerves and their plexuses, neuromuscular synapses.
Neurological diseases can cause pain, decreased sensitivity, impaired coordination of movements, and other symptoms. Consultation with a neurologist is necessary to accurately determine the cause of the disease and select effective treatment. At the consultation, the neurologist conducts a survey of the patient, followed by a neurological examination. If necessary, additional examinations such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), electroencephalography (EEG) and laboratory tests can be prescribed.
At the initial examination, the neurologist conducts a survey of the patient, clarifies complaints, previous diagnoses and methods of treatment. Studies the medical history, data from previous examinations and appointments, and is interested in how long the symptoms have been bothering. Proper diagnosis is very important for choosing treatment tactics. Then the doctor examines the patient. A neurologist conducts a series of tests to evaluate the work of reflexes on the skin, in the pupils, and limbs. The neurologist pays attention to posture, motor activity, coordination of movements, tremor of the arms and legs, the presence of tics. Specific samples and testing make it possible to assess the condition of the central nervous system and PNS. Also, during the appointment, the neurologist gives a referral for laboratory tests and instrumental diagnostics.
To consult a neurologist, we use: Tools for conducting a neurological examination. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize the brain and spinal cord. Electroencephalograph (EEG) for recording the electrical activity of the brain.
Before consulting a neurologist, it is important to prepare the results of previous studies and analyses in advance, including MRI or CT scans (possibly on electronic media). Make a list of medications and supplements you take, as well as describe the symptoms, indicating their duration and possible factors influencing their manifestation. Alcohol and drugs that affect the nervous system should be avoided the day before the visit, unless they have been prescribed by a doctor.

Preparation
Before consulting a neurologist, it is important to prepare the results of previous studies and analyses in advance, including MRI or CT scans (possibly on electronic media). Make a list of medications and supplements you take, as well as describe the symptoms, indicating their duration and possible factors influencing their manifestation. Alcohol and drugs that affect the nervous system should be avoided the day before the visit, unless they have been prescribed by a doctor.
Consultation
The consultation begins with a medical history and general examination, including checking pupil, skin and other reflexes, coordination, gait, sensitivity and muscle strength. The doctor can use neurological tests and tests to identify possible lesions of the nervous system. A neurologist can refer a patient for MRI, EEG or ultrasound of the spine, head and neck vessels to assess the functions of the brain and nervous system. According to the results of the diagnosis, the doctor makes a diagnosis and prescribes treatment.
