Nervous System

The Control Canter
  • Components: Brain, spinal cord, nerves.
  • Function: Coordinates body functions.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Chronic acid reflux causing heartburn and oesophageal irritation.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

A functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, causing chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.

Peptic Ulcer Disease

Sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine.

Alzheimer’s Disease

A progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting memory and cognitive function.

Parkinson’s Disease

A movement disorder characterized by tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

An autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, leading to communication issues between the brain and the body.

myotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

A progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons.

Epilepsy

A neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures.

Stroke

A condition where blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to brain damage.

Brain Tumours

Abnormal growths of cells in the brain, which can be benign or malignant.

Meningitis

Inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.

Encephalitis

Inflammation of the brain, often due to infection.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Damage to peripheral nerves, causing pain, weakness, and numbness.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome

An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system.

Myasthenia Gravis

A chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the communication between nerves and muscles.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain and numbness.

Restless Legs Syndrome

Dementia

A broad category of brain diseases affecting memory and cognitive abilities.

Neurofibromatosis

A genetic disorder causing tumours to grow on nerves.

Cerebral Palsy

A group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone due to brain damage.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

A genetic disorder affecting motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid causing brain swelling, often with symptoms of gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, and cognitive decline.

Radiculopathy

Nerve root compression that causes pain, weakness, or numbness in the limbs.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

A genetic disorder affecting motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness.
