Treatments for Brain Health Conditions

Emory Brain Health Center has expertise in all types of brain health conditions. Some of the treatments offered include:

Awake Craniotomy — During this procedure, surgeons go through the skull in order to perform language mapping to preserve language while removing a tumor.

Botulinum Toxin Injection — This treatment program helps with dystonia, hemifacial spasm, spasticity and other conditions.

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) — This therapy works by electrically stimulating the brain and improving the release of neurochemicals known to be important in the treatment of depression.

Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery — Traditional and minimally invasive endovascular coiling procedures are offered to help induce clotting to treat an aneurysm.

Deep Brain Stimulation — This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves using small electric pulses to change activity in brain areas involved in movement disorders, epilepsy, and other neuropsychiatric disorders.

Medication — We offer medical management and pain management for traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and other brain health conditions.

Neuroendoscopy — This type of neurosurgery allows for the safe treatment of deep-seated tumors in the brain and skull base.

Physical Therapy — Inpatient and outpatient physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy is available for patients with brain health conditions.

Psychotherapy — Patients experiencing depression, anxiety, and other related disorders may benefit from psychotherapy. Emory offers group, individual and couples psychotherapy.

Radiation Oncology — Our specialties include stereotactic radiosurgery and IMRT to provide targeted radiation therapy for brain tumors.

Spinal Radiosurgery — This type of surgery helps treat brain tumors and metastatic tumors of the spine resulting from various types of cancer.

Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) — This minimally invasive procedure helps patients with seizures caused by epilepsy without using traditional open brain procedure.

Stereotactic Neurosurgery — This minimally invasive surgery uses 3D imaging to locate and treat small targets inside the body.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — This noninvasive procedure helps treat depression by using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain.
