Advanced Electrodiagnostic Testing for Brain, Nerves, and Muscles
Neurophysiological diagnostics are essential for checking the health and functioning of the nervous system. These diagnostic tools help identify structural and electrical problems in the brain, peripheral nerves, and muscle fibers.
Our Neurodiagnostic Laboratory Services Include:
- EEG (Electroencephalography): Recording electrical activity in the brain to diagnose epilepsy, seizure disorders, and evaluate brain function in encephalopathy.
- NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity): Measuring electrical signal speeds in nerves to detect nerve compression (e.g., Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), nerve damage, and polyneuropathies.
- EMG (Electromyography): Using sterile needle electrodes to examine electrical activity in muscles, identifying muscle diseases, radiculopathies, or motor neuron disease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. EEG, NCV, and EMG are extremely safe, sterile diagnostic procedures. NCV uses tiny electric pulses that might feel like minor tickling or static, while EMG involves inserting a very thin needle which can cause slight, temporary muscle discomfort.
For EEG, wash your hair clean and do not apply hair oils or gels. For EMG and NCV, keep skin clean, avoid body lotions or creams, and inform the doctor if you are taking blood thinners.
