What is Neurology?
Neurology is the field of medicine relating to the nervous system. This includes both the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves, muscles). Neurological disorders include strokes, seizures, multiple sclerosis, tremor disorders including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other related dementias, as well as headaches with or without migraine features, tingling, numbness, and pain.
Generally, neurological diseases require close monitoring and long-term treatment plans. At Sugar Land Neurology and Sleep, we work closely with each of our patients to ensure they receive the best immediate and long-term care.
We offer a range of Neurology and Sleep Medicine services to our clients with thorough and passionate care.
Sleep Medicine
Sleep medicine includes a wide array of disorders including sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, nightmares, insomnia and sleep talking/walking.
If you think you are suffering from a neurological and/or sleep disorder, request an appointment to see Dr. Khan.
Electroencephalographic (EEG) is a technology that allows us to diagnose epilepsy as well as monitor other brain conditions including migraines, narcolepsy, Alzheimer’s, brain injuries and tumors. It is a non-invasive procedure that involves placing electrodes on the scalp to record brain activity. This process takes between one and two hours and is completed in our office. An ambulatory EEG (AEEG) allows this process to take place at home, over a longer period. The need for an AEEG arises when we suspect a certain disease or disorder but are unable to make a diagnosis in the usual timeframe. To conduct an AEEG, we’ll place the electrodes on your scalp in our office, let you go home to conduct your normal activities over the next 24 to 72 hours, and then you’ll return to have the electrodes removed. All activity will be recorded on the device and will provide us with greater insight into your brain activity.
We specialize in sleep studies including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorders and REM sleep disorders like nightmares. Our state-of-the-art sleep study facilities mean we can monitor and diagnose a range of sleep disorders straight from our clinic. Depending on your condition, this may require an overnight stay so that we can conduct a diagnostic polysomnogram (PSG), which electronically transmits and records sleep activity. C-PAP titration study can be conducted depending upon first night study results.
The practice also arranges for Carotid and Transcranial Doppler studies to examine blood flow to the brain and diagnose blood clots as well as the narrowing of blood vessels. These tests are relatively quick and inexpensive. They involve ultrasound probes as well as Doppler Effect probes and are often also conducted in conjunction with other tests, such as angiograms.
