Who benefits from online neurology consultation
Follow-up consultations by telephone or video are suitable for patients who have been evaluated in person at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic and whose condition is stable or requires medication review. Common scenarios include migraine patients reviewing headache diary and adjusting preventive medication, epilepsy patients discussing medication adherence, side effects and seizure frequency, chronic headache patients reviewing medication-overuse status and diary trends, and neuropathy patients discussing symptom changes and medication response.
Triage consultations may be available for patients outside Kathmandu who are unable to travel immediately — the initial phone call assesses urgency and helps determine whether an in-person visit is required, whether remote follow-up is appropriate, or whether local physician coordination can bridge the gap. Online consultation does not replace in-person evaluation for new or complex presentations where neurological examination is essential for diagnosis.
- Migraine — diary review, preventive adjustment, medication-overuse check
- Epilepsy — adherence review, seizure frequency, side-effect discussion
- Chronic headache — diary trends, medication-overuse assessment
- Neuropathy — symptom changes, medication response, plan adjustment

How online consultation works
Online consultations are conducted by telephone or secure video platform. Patients should have their headache diary (or seizure diary), current medication list, and any recent investigations available during the call. The clinician reviews history, discusses findings and adjusts the management plan. Prescription changes and investigation requests are documented and can be communicated to local pharmacies or physicians as needed.
Preparation improves consultation quality: ensure a stable connection, have a quiet environment, keep the diary and medication list accessible, and write down questions in advance. For patients with cognitive concerns, a family member who sees daily change should be present. Follow-up scheduling and any referral letters are arranged after the consultation. Call 974-7736624 or use /book-appointment to schedule an online consultation.
