करत करत अभ्यास के
हाल ही में उदयपुर (राजस्थान) में आयोजित न्यूरो सम्मलेन में A4 क्लीनिक्स के परिवर्तनात्मक न्यूरो रेहेब प्रोग्राम के बारे में देश विदेश से सम्मिलित हुए सुप्रसिद्ध डॉक्टरों तथा वैज्ञानिकों से चर्चा करने का सुअवसर मुझे प्राप्त हुआ. इस प्रोग्राम में रोबोटिक रेहेब तथा ब्रेन स्टिमुलेशन जैसी तकनीक पर हुई चर्चा आकर्षण का केंद्र बनीं. हमारे इस नवीन प्रोग्राम की सराहना सुनकर अत्यंत प्रसन्नता हुई. सभी का मानना था कि इस प्रकार के न्यूरो रिहेब क्लीनिक्स तथा प्रोग्राम्स की देश भर में आवश्यकता है. इस सम्मेलन में मेरे द्वारा दिए व्याख्यान में न्यूरोप्लास्टिसिटी के सिद्धांत पर विशेष जोर था. दशकों पहले चिकित्सा विज्ञानं में माना जाता था कि एक बार क्षतिग्रस्त होने के बाद मस्तिष्क में कोई रिपेयर संभव नहीं है. परन्तु आधुनिक रिसर्च ने इस धारणा को गलत साबित दिया है. अनेकों प्रकार की रिसर्च के बाद अब यह प्रमाणित हो चुका है कि उचित चिकित्सा से मस्तिष्क के न्यूरॉन्स के टूटे हुए कनेक्शंस को रिपेयर किया जा सकता है. अमेरिका के सुप्रसिद्ध न्यूरो वैज्ञानिक एवं चिकित्सक डॉ. नार्मन डॉज ने अपनी दो पुस्तकों The Brain’s Way of Healing & The Brain That Changes Itself में न्यूरोप्लास्टिसिटी के बारे में विस्तार से लिखा है कि ” पुनरभ्यास तथा सकारात्मक मानसिक सोच के प्रभाव से मस्तिष्क में होने वाली रिपेयर प्रक्रिया को न्यूरोप्लास्टिसिटी कहते हैं “. सच कहूँ तो इस सब विज्ञानं की चर्चा में मुझे बचपन में पढ़ा हुआ यह दोहा याद आ गया: करत करत अभ्यास के जड़मति होत सुजान रसरी आवत जात ते सिल पर परत निसान असल में न्यूरोप्लास्टिसिटी का पूरा ज्ञान इस एक दोहे में समाया हुआ है. सुप्रसिद्ध दार्शनिक अरस्तु ने भी लिखा था, ” We are what we repeatedly do “. यदि आप या आपके परिवार में किसी को लकवा (पैरालिसिस), पार्किंसन, सेरिब्रल पाल्सी इत्यादि कोई न्यूरो बीमारी है तो अनेकों बार सही प्रक्रिया के पुनर्भ्यास से उसकी रिकवरी संभव है. फिज़ियोथेरेपी के अलावा रोबोटिक एवं ब्रेन स्टिमुलेशन जैसी आधुनिक तकनीकें इस रिकवरी में अत्यन्त सहायक होती है.

11 things to know on this World Stroke Day
World Stroke Day was observed on October 29th 2018. On this day, I share with you some important facts and information that would be helpful to you and your family. 1. Stroke, also called Paralysis or Lakwa is a very common disease. It is the commonest cause of disability world-wide. In India alone, at least 18 lakh people every year suffer from a paralytic attack. Stroke affects old AND young people, men AND women. 2. The most common symptom is the paralysis of one side of the body. Other symptoms are slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, memory issues, balance issues. 3. Stroke is caused by the blockage of the blood circulation (blood clot) or bleeding (brain hemorrhage) on one side of the brain leading to damage in the brain. Right side brain damage caused left side paralysis and vice versa. 4. The BEST thing is PREVENTION of stroke by controlling risk factors such as BP, blood sugar, cholesterol, stress levels and physical activity. Most important, know and control your BP. It should be below 140/90. 5. Many people don’t get their BP checked regularly and have silent hypertension. Silent hypertension is a major cause of stroke. Get your BP checked every 6 months if you are healthy and at least every 3 months if you have a history of hypertension. 6. Daily walking is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy. Walk 30 minutes a day at least 4-5 times a week. 7. EARLY RECOGNITION is the key to better treatment of stroke. If someone is having symptoms of stroke, take them to a hospital immediately without delay. 8. Know FAST: Facial asymmetry, Arm weakness, Slurred Speech, Time saving – if someone is having these symptoms, they may have stroke. Save time and take them to a hospital immediately. 9. First 3-6 months are the GOLDEN PERIOD for recovery. If someone gets a stroke, they should enroll in a good intense rehab program as soon as possible. New technologies such as robotic rehabilitation, brain stimulation enable better stroke recovery. 10. Family support and friends are very useful in positive recovery of a stroke patient. 11.

New Hope for Patients with Depression and Anxiety
Depression and Anxiety are very common problems. Unfortunately, there is still a stigma attached to these diseases and patients often suffer in silence. It is extremely sad that at times this suffering results in patients even committing suicide. Many people suffer from depression – rich and poor, young and old, famous and non-famous. Popular actress Deepika Padukone has been public and vocal about her suffering from depression and the impact it had on her life. It’s extremely important that patients with depression / anxiety get treatment without feeling fear or shame. Common treatment options include: (a) Medications (b) Psychological counseling. While medications are an excellent treatment, there are some situations where alternatives are needed: (a) You cannot tolerate side effects of medications. (b) Your symptoms are not improving in spite of medications. (c) You have a contraindication to taking these medications or medications are worsening some of your other symptoms. The good news is that tDCS (non-invasive brain stimulation) an innovative treatment, available only at A4 Clinics in Indore, offers a great alternative. tDCS is non-invasive brain stimulation and has practically no side effects. A number of patients who have received treatment at A4 Clinics have reported significant symptom relief in just 2-4 weeks of treatment. tDCS devices are FDA-approved for treatment of depression in USA.
