About Dr Angelo Jayamanne
Dr Angelo Jayamanne is a skilled neurologist with a strong academic and clinical background. He obtained his medical degree from the University of Notre Dame (Fremantle) and is accredited in Neurology by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP).
Alongside his clinical training, Dr Jayamanne completed a PhD in peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain, with his research published in peer-reviewed medical journals. His academic work contributes to advancing the understanding of nerve disorders and chronic neuropathic pain.
Dr Jayamanne further expanded his expertise through a Neurophysiology Fellowship at Prince of Wales Hospital, where he undertook specialised training in nerve conduction studies, electromyography and electroencephalography. This training underpins his advanced diagnostic capabilities for neuromuscular and neurological conditions.
He is committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to patients with neurological concerns and has professional interests spanning neuromuscular disease, neurophysiology and general neurology.
Clinical Interests
Dr Jayamanne provides expert assessment and management across general and neuromuscular neurology, such as:
- General neurology.
- Neuromuscular disorders.
- Headaches.
- Peripheral neuropathy.
- Neuropathic pain.
He also offers specialist neurophysiological diagnostic testing and therapeutic intervention, including:
- Nerve conduction studies.
- Repetitive nerve stimulation.
- Electromyography (EMG).
- Electroencephalography (EEG) [Routine and sleep deprived]
- Botulinum toxin for hemifacial spasms, blepharospasms, cervical dystonia, axillary hyperhidrosis, chronic migraines, upper limb spasticity and lower limb spasticity.
- Occipital nerve blocks with lignocaine/steroids.
My goal is to deliver thorough, evidence-based neurological care, supported by advanced neurophysiology to guide accurate diagnosis and treatment
Dr Jayamanne focuses on delivering care that is:
