Specialties And Neurology Approach
Neurology involves the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Dr. Chugh’s background extends beyond general neurology into interventional neurology and neurocritical care, giving him experience with both long-term neurological disorders and urgent neurological conditions.
His clinical interests include stroke, aneurysms, brain hemorrhage, epilepsy, headaches, tremors, dementia, spinal disorders, and traumatic brain injury. He has also developed expertise in minimally invasive neurovascular procedures used for selected cerebrovascular conditions.
Stroke And Interventional Neurology
Stroke care is one of Dr. Chugh’s major professional interests. During his career, he has worked in specialized stroke programs and previously served as Senior Consultant and Head of Interventional Neurology at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, in New Delhi.
His academic work includes a published review on the management of acute ischemic stroke in the Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine.
His experience in endovascular neuroradiology also includes treatment approaches for selected brain aneurysms and other blood-vessel disorders affecting the nervous system. Whether an interventional procedure is appropriate depends on the type of neurological problem, imaging findings, symptoms, and overall health.
Adult And Pediatric Neurological Care
Dr. Chugh provides neurological care for adults as well as children. His pediatric neurology work includes conditions such as childhood epilepsy, developmental neurological disorders, cerebral palsy, ADHD, and other disorders affecting the developing nervous system.

Neurological symptoms can be difficult for patients to interpret because headaches, dizziness, memory changes, tremors, sleep problems, and sensory symptoms can have many possible causes. A specialist assessment may involve reviewing the pattern of symptoms, medical history, medications, previous investigations, and neurological examination findings.
