Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Epilepsy management — drug-resistant epilepsy and neurostimulation strategies
• Stroke — thrombolysis outcomes and cerebrovascular risk reduction
• Demyelinating diseases — MS and NMOSD management in Eastern India

A patient with drug-resistant epilepsy uncontrolled on three antiepileptic medications underwent comprehensive EEG monitoring and pharmacological restructuring under Dr. Chowdhury's guidance; following a protocol change incorporating a newer-generation anti-seizure medication, seizure frequency reduced by over 70% within three months.

A patient presenting with acute ischaemic stroke within the thrombolysis window received intravenous tPA under Dr. Chowdhury's supervision, achieving near-complete neurological recovery — measured by a significant reduction in NIHSS score at 24-hour and 90-day follow-up.

• Clear Answers to Complex Questions: Patients consistently commend Dr. Chowdhury for providing thorough, accessible explanations of neurological diagnoses — including in high-stakes conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
• Long-term Trusted Care: Multiple reviewers report following Dr. Chowdhury's care for a decade or more, reflecting exceptional continuity and patient trust in chronic neurological conditions.
• Friendly and Professional: Patients describe his approach as warm and professional simultaneously, making difficult neurological consultations less intimidating.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Chowdhury describes his philosophy as simplifying a complex and often confusing area of healthcare. He dedicates extended consultation time to demystifying neurological diagnoses, presenting treatment options in plain language, and addressing the anxieties of patients and families dealing with conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, or stroke. His structured follow-up approach is particularly valued by patients with chronic neurological conditions requiring long-term management.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Chowdhury employs the full range of modern neurological diagnostic tools including EEG (including prolonged monitoring for epilepsy), nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and comprehensive neuroimaging interpretation. He is trained in intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke and Botulinum Toxin injection for movement disorders and spasticity. He stays current with evolving biological and immunotherapy protocols for demyelinating diseases including MS and NMOSD.
