A broad clinical category
What are neurological conditions?
Neurological conditions are disorders that affect one or more parts of the nervous system. They vary widely in cause, symptoms, duration, severity, and the type of care a person may need.
Similar symptoms can arise from different conditions, and some neurological symptoms can also have non-neurological causes. A symptom list or online article cannot establish a diagnosis.
Different structures, different effects
Parts of the nervous system that may be involved
Spinal cord
Spinal cord conditions may affect communication between the brain and body, including movement, sensation, and automatic functions.
Peripheral nerves
Peripheral nerve conditions may cause sensory changes, pain, weakness, altered reflexes, or changes in automatic body functions.
Neuromuscular system
Some conditions affect the communication between nerves and muscles or the muscles involved in movement and breathing.

How neurological conditions are evaluated and managed
Evaluation may include a medical history, review of symptoms and medicines, a neurological examination, and tests selected for the individual situation. Depending on the concern, healthcare professionals may use laboratory studies, imaging, electrical studies, cognitive assessment, lumbar puncture, or other specialised procedures.
Management depends on the diagnosis and the person. It may include monitoring, medicines, rehabilitation, surgery, devices, symptom management, psychological or social support, and coordinated care. Only a qualified healthcare professional can recommend an appropriate plan for an individual.
