The cost of MND treatment varies as per the country and the specific medical facility. It usually ranges from 6,800 to 13,400 USD, with each cycle priced at around 2,000 USD.

Hello, You are having nerve root impingement which is responsible for your pain. Analgesics will give some relief for some time. Non-surgical treatment will not be of much help in the long run. Final remedy for your case will be keyhole surgery by a spinal surgeon. For further guidance kindly consult a good Neurologist, our page can help with this regards - Best Neurologist in India.

Hi, my name is Sateesh. I am 19 years old studying for Graduation. I work out most of the time. I had pain in the back one morning near the left side of the neck. Numbness all over the body, weakness in hands and legs, coldness under the foot,etc. We went to the hospital to consult a Neurosurgeon. He took an MRI test and said this condition is cervical transverse myelitis. Doctors have given steroids and antibiotics for a week. Now my legs are fine but hands are not working properly, tightness of abdominal, shaking of hands, muscle weakness, my hand fingers are not working properly. Please guide me on what treatment should I take up?

Hello, Transverse myelitis is an inflammation on both sides of one section of the spinal cord (in your case it is cervical). This neurological disorder damages the insulating material of the nerve fibres which results in interruption of the nerve conduction system. Usually, recovery begins from two to twelve weeks of the first onset of symptoms and may continue up to two years. In case, if there is no improvement in symptoms within several months then the recovery is difficult. About one-third of these patients show partial or full recovery. However, take a second opinion from a neurologist. Don't lose hope. Regular treatment will be of help. Hope our answer helps you.

It is always best to consult with her doctor to see what's the best course of action is for her. However, medications such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, and solifenacin may be effective in treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises may help improve her walking and bladder control.

I am 48 years old and suffering from carpal tunnel from past 6 years. Earlier problem was not so much but now I am feeling numbness in my right hand while writing or doing any particular work. Should I go for surgery? Is there any physiotherapy after surgery and after how long I can do writing work as I am a teacher
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
You should go for surgery if your symptoms are very severe and make it difficult for you to do your everyday activities. Yes, after surgery, physiotherapy is done for better flexibility and strength. When can you resume writing and other work depends on the type of surgery you had and other things. It is important to listen to your doctor and start writing only after consulting him.

Samruddhi Bhartiya
Member of team ClinicSpots.
Answered on 23rd May '24
Spinal deformity surgery is considered in the event that:
- The patient is experiencing severe pain which is not being relieved by physical therapy, bracing, and/or medications.
- The deformity is continuously progressing.
- The condition has resulted in patient having a physical deformity that is unbearable.
- The condition has led to compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots.
- The deformity originated from fractures.
- The deformity is of a huge magnitude that it is likely to progress even if skeletal growth is complete.
So she could be satisfying above conditions if she was suggested to get a surgery. But you can refer to this page if you want to get consulted by other doctors for second opinions - Neurosurgeon in India. Come to us if you have any unaddressed query!

My mother is 65 years old. She had seizure for the 1st time. MRI report says Suggestive of neoplastic pathology and arachnoid cyst. Is surgery required? so is there possibility of Tumor? Or do we find that out after/during surgery?
Samruddhi Bhartiya
Member of team ClinicSpots.
Answered on 23rd May '24
Neoplastic pathology means any disease which causes a tumor, whereas arachnoid cyst means that it is just a fluid-filled sac and not a tumor, so the report merely suggests that there is a possibility of either 2 affecting your mother, but it doesn't conclude anything, so we can't be certain about whether it's a tumor or not.
For tumors, surgery will be the main line of treatment, followed by either chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, or both.
Arachnoid cyst wouldn't need a treatment, but if you do go ahead anyway, or if there's some complication that results from it, then surgery would be needed.

I am murugaiyan I have trouble with headache recent 15 days MRI scan report tells brain tumor and need an operation so my question is how much cost for brain tumor surgery in your hospital
Samruddhi Bhartiya
Member of team ClinicSpots.
Answered on 23rd May '24
For the removal of brain tumors, the following are your surgical procedures:
- Craniotomy: There's an opening made on the skull. Following which, the surgeon removes as much of the tumor as is possible to.
Even partial or complete removal helps relieve symptoms and as an added advantage can also reduce the amount of tumor to be treated by radiation therapy or chemotherapy. - Biopsy: If the tumors cannot be removed manually, then to know which other therapies will be effective in destroying them, a surgeon will scrape out a small piece of the tumor and study its composition using a microscope so as to decide further course of treatment.
- Stereotaxis: Doctors utilize a special head frame (like a halo) and CT scans or MRI, so as to find the exact location of the tumor. The surgeon makes a small hole in the skull and then guides the needle all the way to the tumor.
- More Advanced Techniques to enhance your biopsy:
- Brain mapping to find functional pathways near tumors and prevent organ damage.
- Endoscopy for biopsies and spinal fluid pathways.
- Intraoperative MRI also is available to increase the rate of tumor removal.
The cost of brain tumor surgery removal in India is: Rs. 2,50,000 to 7,50,000. However, the actual prices may exceed the given range, and the prices vary depending upon the location of center, the experience of surgeon, preferred surgery choice, severity of concern and other technologies to enhance surgeries, also value-added services provided by your centre.
We do not provide such surgeries ourselves, but you can use our network to find doctors who provide such services at reasonable prices, do discuss their success rate, their set criteria for qualifying eligible patients for these surgical treatments, pre-operative measure & post-operation care, as well as side effects & risks - Neurosurgeon in India.
