Frequently Asked Questions

How is Migraine different from Sinus headaches?

Sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses (air-filled cavities in the skull behind the forehead and cheeks) getting filled with fluids and causing germ growth. Aches due to sinusitis are continuous and last from a few hours to a few weeks. But Migraine, on the other hand, is due to the sudden electrical activity change in the brain. Aches due to migraines appear in episodes on a part or whole of the head and can last from 4-72 hours.

Is Migraine related to stress?

Stress can be one of the triggers for migraines.

How do your doctors diagnose Migraine?

It is diagnosed by a clinical examination which is preceded by proper neurological history taking and a focused neurological examination.
 

How is Migraine treated?

Treatment will be carried out mainly using two kinds of medicines:

  1. Preventive medicine 
  2. Emergency medicine

Is Migraine completely curable?

As per the classical definition of a cure, the answer would be No. But if effectively treated for an appropriate duration, the chances of Migraine appearance can be prevented.

Can Migraine be hereditary?

Yes, there is a possibility that Migraine can be hereditary. About 80-90% of patients report having a family member suffer Migraine. If one of the parents suffers from Migraine, there is a 50% risk of developing it. If both parents suffer from Migraine then the possibility goes up to 75%.

What is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that affects the brain and results in involuntary movements, slowness of movements, and difficulty in walking. It is a common condition seen in elder people and the incidences increase with aging.

What are the early signs or symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease?

  • Tremor
  • The slowness of motor activities
  • Involuntary movement of hands
  • Strange way of walking
Some studies show that people with Parkinson’s disease may go into depression or feel 
lack of motivation before having any visible signs.

What are the causes of Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is due to the combination of factors such as environmental factors, genetic factors, and certain changes in the nerve cells of the brain which results in the loss of a chemical in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine affects many parts of your body.

How is Parkinson’s Disease diagnosed?

The neurologist will ask you medical history and perform a neurological exam. There are no specific tests that diagnose Parkinson’s disease.

How is Parkinson’s Disease treated?

Parkinson’s disease is treated on the basis of the replacement of lost dopamine content in the brain. Medicines are given that cross the boundary between the bloodstream and the brain (blood-brain barrier) and enter the nerve cells.

Who is more prone to Parkinson’s Disease?

Men are at higher risk of getting Parkinson’s Disease.

What lifestyle changes one can adapt to prevent Parkinson’s disease?

Research shows that regular aerobic exercise might reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Other research shows that people who consume caffeine get Parkinson’s disease less often than those who don’t drink it. But there is not enough evidence to suggest drinking caffeinated beverages to protect against Parkinson’s.

What are Lewy bodies?

Lewy bodies are very characteristic structures seen inside nerve cells. They are called intra-neuronal-inclusion bodies. These are very small structures found in the substantia nigra or within the cortex. A Lewy body is composed of a protein called alpha-synuclein and ubiquitin.
