What types of treatments are available for neurological disorders in children?

Treatments for neurological disorders in children include medication to manage symptoms, neurological rehabilitation for virus-related conditions, and therapy for movement or speech issues. Surgery may be necessary for some conditions, such as epilepsy, while gene replacement therapy and Botox injections can treat specific disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses functional neurological disorders, and physical, occupational, and speech therapies assist with daily tasks and communication. 

How does the team approach complex or rare neurological disorders?

Rare and complex neurological disorders in children are manageable due to advances in genetic treatments and innovations in open microsurgical and endovascular techniques. Pediatric intracranial aneurysms require detailed analysis for optimal outcomes. It’s also crucial to address associated pain, systemic symptoms, and psychological distress, including nociceptive and neuropathic pain, agitation, and nausea. 

What role do advanced technologies play in the treatment of pediatric neurological conditions?

Advanced technologies for treating pediatric neurological conditions include vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to control seizures, cognitive behavioral therapy for managing tic disorders, neurostimulation, and neuromodulation techniques to alter brain activity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) helps identify brain regions responsible for essential functions and assesses the impact of disorders like stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

How is progress monitored and evaluated during treatment?

Evaluating the treatment of pediatric neurological conditions involves adjusting treatment based on response, conducting neurological exams to assess mental status and motor function, and performing blood tests for infections or genetic disorders. Imaging studies like MRI and CT scans visualize the brain and spinal cord, while EEGs measure brain electrical activity for seizure and sleep disorders.
