Response - NO
Brief Summary   Occupational therapy (OT) is a key component in neurorehabilitation, yet it remains underrecognized by neurologists and neurosurgeons. As they are primary decision-makers in neurological care, their awareness significantly impacts patient referrals and outcomes. Limited studies have explored their knowledge about OT, especially in specific regional contexts. This gap highlights the need to evaluate their awareness to enhance early rehabilitation interventions. The study aims to assess the current level of knowledge and awareness among neurologists and neurosurgeons regarding OT. A cross-sectional observational design will be used, involving structured questionnaires for data collection. The sample will include practicing neurologists and neurosurgeons selected through google form. Ethical approvals and consent will be obtained prior to data collection. The findings will contribute to planning targeted educational initiatives and improving interdisciplinary collaboration in neurorehabilitation.
