All Neurophysiologic investigations like EEG, videotelemetry, electromyography, nerve conduction studies using magnetic stimulators and evoked potentials are available at these centres. The neuroradiological facilities include MRI scan with MR angiography, spiral CT scan, conventional angiography and SPECT studies.
Thrombolytic therapy for stroke patients and botulinum toxin therapy for focal dystonia are used by the doctors as and when necessary.
