Diseases of the nervous system

Patients with nerve disorders experience functional difficulties, which result in conditions such as:

• Epilepsy, in which abnormal electrical discharges from brain cells cause seizures
• Parkinson's disease, which is a progressive nerve disease that affects movement
• Multiple sclerosis (MS), in which the protective lining of the nerves is attacked by the body's immune system
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a motor neuron disease which weakens the muscles and progressively hampers physical function
• Huntington's disease, which is an inherited condition that cause the nerve cells in the brain to degenerate
• Alzheimer's disease, which covers a wide range of disorders that impacts mental functions, particularly memory.
