स्ट्रोक रिकवरी में brain stimulation (tDCS) कैसे मदद करता है?
स्ट्रोक और इसका प्रभाव समझना स्ट्रोक तब होता है जब मस्तिष्क में रक्त का प्रवाह बाधित हो जाता है, जिससे मस्तिष्क की कोशिकाएं क्षतिग्रस्त हो जाती हैं। इसके कारण चलने-फिरने, बोलने, याददाश्त और अन्य महत्वपूर्ण कार्यों में कठिनाइयाँ आ सकती हैं। स्ट्रोक के बाद ठीक होना एक लंबी यात्रा हो सकती है, जिसमें अक्सर खोई हुई क्षमताओं को फिर से हासिल करने और जीवन की गुणवत्ता में सुधार के लिए समर्पित फिजियोथेरेपी एवं रिहैब की आवश्यकता होती है। पारंपरिक उपचार शारीरिक व्यायाम और physiotherapy ध्यान केंद्रित करते हैं ताकि रोगियों को गतिविधियों और कामों को फिर से सीखने में मदद मिल सके। हालाँकि, रिकवरी कभी-कभी धीमी या अधूरी होती है, यही कारण है कि brain stimulation जैसी नई तकनीकें ध्यान आकर्षित कर रही हैं। tDCS क्या है? ट्रांसक्रैनियल डायरेक्ट करंट स्टिमुलेशन (tDCS) एक नॉन-इनवेसिव तकनीक है जो मस्तिष्क के विशिष्ट क्षेत्रों को स्टिमुलेट करने के लिए लो इलेक्ट्रिक करंट का उपयोग करती है। प्रशिक्षित स्टाफ द्वारा दिए जाने पर यह दर्द रहित और सुरक्षित होता है। स्ट्रोक थेरेपी में , tDCS मोटर कॉर्टेक्स को टार्गेट करता है. यह मस्तिष्क का वह क्षेत्र है जो मूवमेंट एवं गति के लिए जिम्मेदार है. सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है की टकड़क्स न्यूरोप्लास्टिसिटी (Neuroplasticity) को बढ़ाता है. Neuroplasticity जो मस्तिष्क की पुनर्गठित होने और नए तंत्रिका कनेक्शन बनाने की क्षमता है। यह हाथों एवं पैरों में मूवमेंट को बेहतर बनाने और रिकवरी में तेजी लाने में मदद करता है। स्ट्रोक पुनर्वास में tDCS कैसे काम करता है? • ब्रेन के टूटे हुए न्यूरॉन्स को दोबारा जोड़ कर उनकी क्षमता बढ़ता है• शारीरिक चिकित्सा अभ्यासों की प्रभावशीलता को बढ़ाता है।• मांसपेशियों की ताकत, समन्वय और नियंत्रण में सुधार करता है।• विकलांगता को कम करता है और चलने फिरने की स्वतंत्रता में सुधार करता है। इंदौर में ए4 क्लीनिक्स में, हम स्ट्रोक से मरीज़ों के रिकवरी के परिणामों को अधिकतम करने के लिए tDCS को रोबोटिक फिजियोथेरेपी और अन्य रिहैब टेक्नोलॉजी के साथ जोड़ते हैं। नैदानिक प्रमाण और सुरक्षा कई वैज्ञानिक रिसर्च और अध्ययनों से पता चला है कि tDCS स्ट्रोक के बाद मोटर कार्य और संज्ञानात्मक क्षमताओं में सुरक्षित रूप से सुधार कर सकता है। इसके न्यूनतम दुष्प्रभाव होते हैं और बेहतर परिणामों के लिए इसे पारंपरिक उपचारों के साथ इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है। अपनी रिकवरी में अगला कदम उठाएँ यदि आप या आपका कोई प्रियजन स्ट्रोक से उबर रहा है, तो सभी विकल्पों का पता लगाने में देर न करें। ए4 क्लीनिक्स में विशेषज्ञ फिजियोथेरेपी के साथ tDCS आपको स्वतंत्रता फिर से हासिल करने और आपके जीवन की गुणवत्ता में सुधार करने में मदद कर सकती है। 📞 परामर्श के लिए आज ही इंदौर में ए4 क्लीनिक्स से संपर्क करें और जानें कि tDCS आपकी स्ट्रोक रिकवरी यात्रा में कैसे सहायता कर सकता है। 👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL–xZ3eOOg Book a stroke rehab consultation in Indore Mob: 7471174920 Web: https://www.a4clinics.com/
How Brain Stimulation (tDCS) Helps in Stroke Recovery
Understanding Stroke and Its Impact A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die. This can lead to difficulties with movement, speech, memory, and other vital functions. Recovery after a stroke can be a long journey, often requiring dedicated rehabilitation to regain lost abilities and improve quality of life.Traditional therapies focus on physical exercises and occupational therapy to help patients relearn movements and skills. However, recovery is sometimes slow or incomplete, which is why new techniques like brain stimulation are gaining attention. What is tDCS? Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses a low electrical current to stimulate specific areas of the brain. It is painless and safe when administered by trained professionals.In stroke rehabilitation, tDCS targets the motor cortex—the brain region responsible for voluntary movement—to enhance brain plasticity, which is the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. This helps improve motor function and speeds up recovery. How tDCS Works in Stroke Rehab? • Stimulates neural pathways to promote motor relearning• Enhances effectiveness of physical therapy exercises• Improves muscle strength, coordination, and control• Reduces disability and improves independence At A4 Clinics in Indore, we combine tDCS with advanced robotic physiotherapy and personalized rehabilitation programs to maximize recovery outcomes for stroke survivors. Clinical Evidence and Safety Multiple studies have shown that tDCS can safely improve motor function and cognitive abilities post-stroke. It has minimal side effects and can be used alongside conventional therapies for better results. Take the Next Step in Your Recovery If you or a loved one is recovering from a stroke, don’t wait to explore all options. Brain stimulation combined with expert physiotherapy at A4 Clinics can help you regain independence and improve your quality of life.📞 Contact A4 Clinics in Indore today to schedule a consultation and learn how tDCS can support your stroke recovery journey.👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL–xZ3eOOg Book a stroke rehab consultation in Indore A4 Clinics – MP’s Most Advanced Robotic Neuro Rehab Center Mob:7471174920 Web: https://www.a4clinics.com/
Fighting Parkinson’s Disease with Exercise
In this post, I will share with you results from a large Parkinson’s disease research project by Parkinson’s Foundation. 1. 10,000 people across 5 countries participated. 2. People with recently diagnosed Parkinson’s as well as with diagnosis for over 20 years. 3. Moderate to intense exercise is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to fight symptoms of Parkinson’s such as loss of mobility, loss of balance, loss of strength. 4. Parkinson’s is a progressive disease that gets worse with time. Exercise DELAYS THE WORSENING OF THE DISEASE. 5. Exercise gives patients more number of years with higher quality of life. 6. Exercising helps reestablish better rewiring of the brain cells to compensate for the disease (loss of dopamine). This is called Neuroplasticity. 7. This exercise-induced neuroplasticity helps patients with better walking, independence in activities of daily living etc. Read more at http://www.montgomerynews.com/news/regional/combatting-parkinson-s-disease-with-exercise/article_e1da54ee-b510-11e8-a49c-7f0fac811aa0.html For more information, contact: A4 Clinics – MP’s Most Advanced Robotic Neuro Rehab Center Mob: 7471174920 https://a4clinics.com/
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. POSITIVE THINKING and positive mental attitude facilitates stroke recovery. Your health is in your hands. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Get regular checkups.

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.

Innovative Treatment for Migraine: Now Available in Indore
Main points about Migraine: – Migraine usually causes intense throbbing pain on one side of the head. – The pain lasts for hours or even days and many patients suffer greatly with the pain. – Sometimes associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. – Some patients experience an “aura” preceding the headache which consists of light flashes. – Migraine is three times more common in women than men. Treatment for migraine The usual treatment for migraine is (a) taking medicines to treat the pain at the time of the attack (b) taking medicines to prevent an attack. Unfortunately, many patients do not get adequate relief with these methods. Now, we have a new treatment- tDCS available in Indore only at A4 Clinics. tDCS significantly reduces the number of migraines, duration of attacks and the intensity of pain. tDCS is non-invasive, painless and has no sedating side effects. It is effective when medications and trigeminal nerve stimulation are inadequate. tDCS is also effective for other types of chronic headaches. See Video – Chronic Headache Patient Gets Relief in 1 month. Science It is thought that migraines occur due to over-excitation of the brain cells. tDCS targets the source of migraine by reducing this over-excitation.
Can Brain Stimulation Help Patients With Depression?
Depression is extremely common around the world. According to World Health Organization, India has one of the highest percentages of patients with depression. Many patients don’t get treatment because they feel stigmatized. Some patients develop side effects from medications. Yet others get no benefit even after being on multiple medications. tDCS called transcranial direct current stimulation of the brain is an effective new treatment for depression and other mental conditions such as OCD, anxiety. Two small electrodes are placed on the scalp in selected areas and very small amount of electric current is applied (2mA). Each session is for 20-22 minutes. Generally, a minimum of 25 sessions are recommended. Patient is sitting or lying comfortably. There is no pain, no side effects. Science tells us the depression is due to low electrical activity in the brain wiring and circuits in the left frontal side of the brain. tDCS helps by enhancing the activity of the brain which cures patient’s symptoms effectively. tDCS works alone or with medications to treat depression symptoms.
