Welcome - Neuro-La-Côte - Neurology Center

Daily Excellence

Dr Carota welcomes you in our center that is located in Gland, near the city of Nyon, in the region of La Côte, a natural region facing Lake Geneva, between Geneva and Lausanne.

The center provides diagnostic and therapeutic management of neurological diseases of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, excluding mental illnesses. In this sense, neurology is different from psychiatry, which supports depression, anxiety, and bipolar illness.

Neurons and nerves are found in all parts of the body and neurology is interested in many diseases, very different from each other such as: stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Parkinson’s disease and movement, headache and migraine, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), stiffness and spasticity, mono and polyneuropathies. The neurological conditions we are dealing with are summarized here.

We perform cognitive exams with test sets for dementia diagnosis and monitoring. We perform Electroencephalography (EEG), Electroneuromyography (ENMG) and Evoked Potential (EP) exams

We carry out treatments of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) (learn more) and mesotherapy for pain syndromes of neurological origin.

Our mission is to strive for excellence in everyday life .

This means referring to clinical and scientific (evidence-based-medicine (EBM) Swiss and international neurology and at the same time to adapt them to the individual.

Neurology is a fascinating medical discipline that requires extensive knowledge and clinical experience.

The complexity of the subject must make the neurologist even more attentive to the needs of patients and their families.

Headache consultation at home.Due to the lockdown for the coronavirus, we offer you consultation via video conferencing.Headache is the most common reason for consultation in neurology.However, for the general population, it is estimated that more than 50 % of patients with headache do not have accurate diagnosis or proper treatment.Headache is a local pain felt at the head and sometimes the neck.The most common headaches (90 % of cases) are:• Tension type Headache (30 to 70 % of the population, often associated with depression and anxiety)• Migraine (12 % of the population, 18 % women)Neurological symptoms (generally visual) of migraine is the aura (migraine with aura).These two conditions (tension type headache and migraine) are an example of primary headache, that is, a condition in itself and not related to another condition (e. g high blood pressure, head injury, drug misuse, brain tumor, Horton’s disease [elderly patients], or other neurological pathologies).We say secondary headaches when the cause is another disease.Other common primary headache: "Cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicrania, nummular headache".Less known are the hypnic headache (which occurs during sleep), SUNCT, headache associated with cough or sexual activity, ice-pik headache, migraine related to a genetic condition (family migraine migraine).The explosive headache ("thunderclap" with maximum pain intensity [10/10] since the appearance in 1-2 minutes) is a neurological emergency.• The difference diagnosis includes aneurysm rupture, subarahcnoid bleeding, venous sinus thrombosis and arterial dissection.• In some occations a change of the type of headache in a migraneous patient could be related to another cause.The duration and intensity of headache are very different.While some headaches may last for a few minutes or hours, others may last for several days.Pain can often be unbearable, affecting the ability to work and carry out routine activities.The headache is chronic when it manifests more than 15 days / month for at least 3 months.To get a diagnosis you may need to consult a neurologist, perform a neurological exam, brain or cervical magnetic resonance, blood tests. However, in general, the most important element for diagnosis is a detailed history of pain, associated symptoms, the evolution and response to treatments.The treatment depends on the diagnosis:Migraine:• Pharmacological treatments ( Triptans, preventive treatments, mesotherapy)• immunological treatments (anti-bodies anti-recepteur of the calcitonine gene)• Physical treatments (repetitive magnetic transcranial stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, relaxation, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, cryotherapy).For drug overuse headache, withdrawal of pain killers by a neurological protocol may be necessaryFor chronic headaches, it is important to remember that there is no quick solution.For migraine, a good knowledge of the factors involved and the proper treatments reduces the "fear" of the crisis. This is the most common cause of over-consumption of pain killers.Sigmund Freud had migraine. The end of the crisis brought him a Boost of creativity.We offer you neurological teleconsultations.Contact us to learn more. … See MoreSee Less
