Bangkok Neuroscience Center

The Neuroscience Center is a subset of Bangkok Hospital, a prominent hub for cutting-edge international healthcare. A competent team of doctors use state-of-the-art technology to detect and treat serious neurological disorders.

The neuroscience center is broken down into five clinics that oversee specific facets of neurological disease. This encourages specialization within the compound, so patients can receive the best treatment available. The five major clinics address epilepsy, pain and headaches, strokes, movement disorders and neuromuscular diseases.

In order to properly diagnose neurological disorders, doctors must be able to review an image of the brain. The Neuroscience Center at Bangkok Hospital is equipped with top-class imaging technology that delivers quick and clear results non-invasively. Most imaging is accomplished through a CT scan or MRI, though a cerebral angiogram is sometimes necessary.

Common disorders and diseases that are treated at the Bangkok Neuroscience Center include Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, brain tumors and chronic migraine headaches. Bangkok Hospital is also a world leader in stem cell research. Breakthroughs in this field have paved the way for more advanced treatments and therapies for patients with neurological disorders.

The Neuroscience Center has also branched out to offer pain management to patients that suffer from neurological disorders or even cancer. Drug-infusion treatment delivers variable doses of pain medication directly to the central nervous system. Another treatment, a spinal cord simulator (SCS), essentially scrambles pain signals generated by the body so that the patient does not interpret them as painful. 

Bangkok Hospital is known for its excellent accommodation. Patients receiving ongoing treatment are kept in rooms that feel like they belong in a hotel rather than a hospital ward. Satellite television, catered meals, a full kitchen and sleeping quarters for relatives or loved ones are also provided.
