Editing Neurology (section)

===Overlapping areas===
Some overlap also occurs with other specialties, varying from country to country and even within a local geographic area. Acute [[traumatic brain injury|head trauma]] is most often treated by neurosurgeons, whereas [[sequelae]] of head trauma may be treated by neurologists or [[Physical medicine and rehabilitation|specialists in rehabilitation medicine]]. Although stroke cases have been traditionally managed by internal medicine or hospitalists, the emergence of vascular neurology and [[interventional neuroradiology]] has created a demand for stroke specialists. The establishment of [[Joint Commission]]-certified stroke centers has increased the role of neurologists in stroke care in many primary, as well as tertiary, hospitals. Some cases of nervous system [[infectious disease]]s are treated by infectious disease specialists. Most cases of headache are diagnosed and treated primarily by [[general practitioner]]s, at least the less severe cases. Likewise, most cases of [[sciatica]] are treated by general practitioners, though they may be referred to neurologists or  surgeons (neurosurgeons or [[Orthopedic surgery|orthopedic surgeons]]). [[Sleep disorders]] are also treated by [[Pulmonology|pulmonologists]] and [[psychiatrists]]. [[Cerebral palsy]] is initially treated by [[Pediatrics|pediatricians]], but care may be transferred to an adult neurologist after the patient reaches a certain age. [[Physical medicine and rehabilitation]] physicians may treat patients with neuromuscular diseases with electrodiagnostic studies (needle EMG and nerve-conduction studies) and other diagnostic tools. In the United Kingdom and other countries, many of the conditions encountered by older patients such as movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, stroke, dementia, or gait disorders, are managed predominantly by specialists in [[geriatric medicine]].

[[Clinical neuropsychology|Clinical neuropsychologists]] are often called upon to [[Neuropsychological assessment|evaluate]] brain-[[Human behavior|behavior]] relationships for the purpose of assisting with [[differential diagnosis]], planning [[Physical medicine and rehabilitation|rehabilitation]] strategies, documenting [[cognitive]] strengths and weaknesses, and measuring change over time (e.g., for identifying abnormal [[aging]] or tracking the progression of a [[dementia]]).
