What is a Transaction?
Autoimmune neurological diseases are long-term, chronic illnesses that occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s nervous system. This can damage nerve cells, leading to neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness, difficulty walking and cognitive problems.
How is it done?
At our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir, the causes and extent of autoimmune neurological diseases are examined in detail. Advanced diagnostic methods such as blood tests, MRI and neurological evaluations are used in the diagnostic process. These evaluations are performed to determine the stage of the disease and the extent of damage to the nervous system. After diagnosis, immunosuppressive drug therapies and individualized treatment plans to manage symptoms are implemented.
What are the Symptoms?
Common symptoms of autoimmune neurological diseases are:
- Muscle Weakness: Weakening of muscles due to damage to nerve cells.
- Difficulty walking: Decreased mobility due to balance and coordination problems.
- Balance and Coordination Problems: Loss of balance due to loss of function of the nervous system.
- Dizziness and lightheadedness: Loss of balance as a result of central nervous system involvement.
- Cognitive Disorders: Memory problems, distraction and thinking difficulties.
What are the Treatment Methods?
- Drug Therapy: Corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs and biological agents are used to control the immune system.
- Physiotherapy: Regular exercise programs are applied to increase muscle strength and improve mobility.
- Rehabilitation: Various therapy methods are used to increase the patient’s functional independence and facilitate activities of daily living.
- Supportive Therapies: A multidisciplinary approach is taken to manage cognitive and physical symptoms.
Early diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune neurological diseases is of great importance to improve the quality of life of patients and slow down the progression of the disease. In our clinic, we meticulously manage these processes with our expert staff and offer the most appropriate treatment plans to our patients.
