Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Ketogenic diet efficacy in drug-resistant childhood epilepsy
• Early neurodevelopmental outcome in neonatal seizures
• Autism and ADHD co-morbidities in school-age children

A child with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and multiple daily seizures refractory to five anticonvulsants was successfully managed on a structured ketogenic diet protocol under Dr. Mittal's supervision, achieving a 70% reduction in seizure frequency within six months.

An infant with neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) was managed with therapeutic hypothermia coordination and structured EEG monitoring under Dr. Mittal's care, with favourable neurodevelopmental outcome at 18-month follow-up.

• Patient and Empathetic with Families: Parents consistently highlight Dr. Mittal's calm, unhurried approach in explaining complex neurological diagnoses in terms families can understand.
• Expert Epilepsy Management: Families with epileptic children praise her systematic medication adjustments and commitment to exploring non-drug therapies like the ketogenic diet.
• Holistic Developmental Support: Parents of children with autism and developmental delay note her coordinated approach, involving therapists, educators, and neurologists in a unified care plan.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Rekha Mittal recognises that paediatric neurological care involves not only the child but the entire family unit. She dedicates extended consultation time to explaining diagnoses, prognosis, and treatment rationale to parents — particularly for chronic conditions like epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and autism. Her approach to developmental disorders is multidisciplinary, coordinating with speech therapists, physiotherapists, and special educators. She provides written care plans and ensures families can access her for follow-up questions between appointments.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Mittal uses digital EEG and video-EEG telemetry for paediatric epilepsy evaluation, nerve conduction studies and EMG for neuromuscular disease assessment, and MRI brain/spine with diffusion-weighted and spectroscopy sequences for neonatal and childhood neurological diagnosis. She administers botulinum toxin for spasticity management in cerebral palsy and implements structured ketogenic diet protocols under dietitian supervision for drug-resistant epilepsy.
