Dr. Charu Gauba — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Charu Gauba is a Senior Consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 18 years of experience. Her profile carries two specializations, neurology and neurosurgery.

Epilepsy is the first entry on her clinical list and appears twice, as epilepsy treatment and as drug-resistant epilepsy. Movement disorders account for the largest block: Parkinson's disease, atypical parkinsonism, tremor disorders, dystonia and neuro rehabilitation for movement disorders. Stroke treatment and recovery and hemorrhagic stroke management sit beside neuro rehabilitation for brain injury, so the acute and the recovery phases are both recorded. Neuropathic pain management and trigeminal neuralgia complete the list, and both are pain conditions of the nerves rather than of the brain.

Her procedures are EEG and evoked potentials for diagnosis, IV thrombolysis for acute stroke, deep brain stimulation and botulinum toxin therapy for movement disorders, and migraine nerve block for headache.

Her qualifications are MBBS, MD, DNB in neurology as a Diplomate of the National Board, and MRCP as a Member of the Royal College of Physicians in the United Kingdom. The MRCP is the only one of the four examined outside India.

Her writing reaches past neurology. She has contributed a chapter to ICU Protocols: A Stepwise Approach and a chapter to Recent Concepts in Minimal Access Surgery, and has four publications in medical journals. The second of those two books is a surgical text, which is consistent with the neurosurgery specialization on her profile, and the first belongs to intensive care, the setting in which the hemorrhagic stroke work on her list is done.
