Neurology Department

At KPJ Healthcare Johor, expert neurologists offer treatment for a wide range of neurological conditions, including:

Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
Ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke
Epilepsy and seizure disorders
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
Multiple sclerosis
Guillain-Barré syndrome and neuromuscular disorders
Headaches, dizziness, and neuropathic pain

They use the following advanced diagnostics to accurately detect these conditions and plan effective treatment:

Electroencephalogram (EEG): Records brainwave activity through scalp electrodes to detect seizures and abnormal electrical patterns.
Electromyogram (EMG): Uses fine needles to measure muscle activity and identify nerve or muscle disorders.
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): Send mild electrical impulses through nerves to measure signal speed and strength, which reveals nerve damage.
Evoked Potentials: Test how quickly nerves respond to visual, sound, or touch stimulation, helping diagnose multiple sclerosis and related disorders.
Single Fiber EMG: Measures communication between individual nerve fibers and muscle cells for detecting mild neuromuscular issues.

Beyond diagnostics, KPJ Healthcare Johor also offers high-quality botulinum toxin (Botox) injections for conditions such as facial spasms, chronic headache, and tremors.

These injections work by temporarily blocking overactive nerve signals to the muscles. This provides targeted relief, improves mobility, and enhances patient comfort.
