Having physiotherapy with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to maximise the rehabilitation outcome for stroke neurological deficit.

Offering Botox injection for post stroke spasticity to improve stroke recovery

Transcranial doppler to detect ongoing microemboli in stroke

Offering Epilepsy care service with 24 hour prolonged video EEG room to diagnose epilepsy and optimizing treatment for seizure and epilepsy cases with imaging of MRI brain epilepsy protocol.

Detect seizure, non epileptic seizure disorder and aim of achieving seizure free status in patients.

Evaluation and work up for possible epilepsy surgery in refractory seizure patients with prolonged video EEG.

Headache clinic with evaluation for headache causes including migraine, cervicogenic headache, tension headache, secondary headache including intracranial hypertension and infection. MRI brain to assess for cause of headache. Treatment to aim for headache free status.
