Harinder Jaseja

Summary

Affiliation: G R Medical College
Location: Gwalior, India
Summary:
Dr Jaseja has proposed an additional novel guideline in the management protocol of patients with Cerebral Palsy for their improved prognosis and quality of life and also shown the efficacy of Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) in such patients. Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder of immense national socio-economic concern with several spastic societies, both in Government and non-Government sectors.
He has initiated an International debate on the relation between Meditation and Epilepsy evidenced by the large number of publications in recent years. He has also initiated debate on the dilemma on treatment of the EEG and has published papers on resolution of the issue.
He has shed significant light on Purpose of Sleep in Man and Vigabatrin administration in West Syndrome.
He has re-defined Meditation and Epilepsy in context to current scenario. Interestingly, he has shown that the Indian traditional application of Shoe-smell in Epilepsy has a sound scientific basis, thus highlighting the scientific approach in Indian traditional remedial measures.
Recently, he has proposed the utility of Global Positioning System (GPS) in safeguarding women’s dignity and has also published a novel approach to search for Alien-existence and suggested a telepathic mode of communication with Aliens.
