Functional Neurosurgery

Home » Functional Neurosurgery

Functional neurosurgery procedure is used for the treatment of central nervous system disorders that do not have any gross anatomical abnormalities. Functional neurosurgery has turned out to be a blessing when treating severe movement disorders like dystonia, Parkinson’s disease, and essential tremors.

Dr. Atmaranjan follows these procedures to treat chronic pain disorders (cancer, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, back pain, and facial pain) like intrathecal pain pumps, spinal cord stimulation, DREZ, percutaneous radiofrequency lesions, vagus nerve stimulation, and deep-brain or motor-cortex stimulation. For treating movement disorders, Dr. Atmaranjan follows deep brain stimulation and ablative procedures.

Functional neurosurgery is a specialized branch of neurosurgery that focuses on treating neurological disorders by improving or restoring the function of the nervous system. It is commonly used for conditions such as epilepsy, movement disorders, chronic pain, and certain brain-related functional abnormalities.
Functional neurosurgery may help patients with epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, tremors, dystonia, chronic nerve pain, spasticity, and other neurological conditions that affect daily activities and quality of life.
No. Many neurological conditions can initially be managed with medications, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, or lifestyle modifications. Surgery is considered when symptoms remain uncontrolled or significantly affect daily life despite conservative treatment.
Evaluation typically includes a detailed neurological examination, MRI or CT scans, EEG studies when required, medical history review, and other specialized tests to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Recovery depends on the specific procedure performed and the patient’s overall health. Many patients experience gradual improvement over weeks to months, along with regular follow-up visits and rehabilitation when necessary.
Yes. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor progress, adjust medications if needed, evaluate neurological function, and ensure the best possible long-term outcome after treatment.
