Dr. Arun Kumar Sharma is a Specialist Neurologist with over 30 years of clinical experience. He trained in Neuro-Electrophysiology at Nicolet Inc. in Madison, Wisconsin, and practices at Emirates Hospitals Group in Dubai. His career has been marked by significant contributions to neuroscience research, particularly his pioneering work on how malnutrition affects the nervous system, which earned him a Ph.D. in neurosciences from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research. This research became one of the most widely cited works in the field, remaining highly visible in searches nearly three decades after publication in the Journal of Neurosciences, the official publication of the World Federation of Neurology.
Dr. Sharma treats a broad spectrum of neurological conditions, from common concerns like migraines, dizziness, and back pain to complex disorders including stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and dementia. He has particular expertise in movement disorders, chronic pain conditions, and neurological emergencies. He is experienced in administering targeted therapies such as botulinum toxin injections for chronic migraines, writer's cramp, and facial spasms. He has also co-authored a textbook on neurological disorders in internal medicine published by Springer-Verlag and has presented over 100 original research papers at major international neurology conferences.
He is a good fit if you need a highly experienced neurologist for complex or long-standing conditions, or if you value a doctor who combines extensive research expertise with practical clinical care. His approach emphasizes thorough evaluation and clear communication with patients about their condition and treatment options.
Special interests: effects of malnutrition on nervous system, Shy-Drager Syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, neurological disorders in internal medicine.
