A neurological disorder is a disorder of the body s nervous system . Structural, biochemical or electrical abnormalities in the brain , spinal cord or other nerves can result in a range of symptoms . Examples of symptoms include paralysis , muscle weakness , poor coordination , loss of sensation , seizures , confusion , pain and altered levels of consciousness .There are many recognized neurological disorders , some relatively common, but many rare. They may be assessed by neurological examination , and studied and treated within the specialities of neurology and clinical neuropsychology . Interventions for neurological disorders include preventative measures, lifestyle changes , physiotherapy or other therapy , neurorehabilitation , pain management , medication , or operations performed by neurosurgeons . The World Health Organization estimated in 2006 that neurological disorders and their sequelae (direct consequences) affect as many as one billion people worldwide, and identified health inequalities and social stigma / discrimination as major factors contributing to the associated disability and suffering .
