EEG (Electroencephalogram)
An EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the brain. It is used to evaluate brain function and help diagnose conditions such as epilepsy, seizures, sleep disorders, brain injuries, infections, and neurological abnormalities. The test is painless, safe, and typically takes 30–60 minutes to complete.
NCS (Nerve Conduction Study)
An NCS (Nerve Conduction Study) is a diagnostic test that measures how well and how fast electrical signals travel through peripheral nerves. It helps diagnose nerve damage, neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathy, and other neuromuscular disorders. The test is safe, minimally uncomfortable, and usually completed within 30–60 minutes.
PSG (Polysomnography)
Polysomnography (PSG) is a comprehensive sleep study used to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome. It records multiple body functions during sleep, including brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, and muscle activity. The test is safe, painless, and typically conducted overnight under supervised conditions.
EMG (Electromyography)
EMG (Electromyography) is a diagnostic test that evaluates the electrical activity of muscles and the nerves controlling them. It helps diagnose neuromuscular disorders, muscle weakness, nerve injuries, and conditions such as myopathy or motor neuron disease. The test is safe, minimally invasive, and usually performed alongside nerve conduction studies.
BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry)
Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) is a specialized, non-invasive diagnostic test used to evaluate the hearing ability and the functioning of the auditory nerve and brainstem pathways. This test measures how the brain responds to sound and helps detect hearing problems or neurological issues affecting the hearing nerve.
RNS (Repetitive Nerve Stimulation)
Repetitive Nerve Stimulation (RNS) is a specialized electrodiagnostic test used to evaluate the communication between nerves and muscles. It helps doctors diagnose disorders that affect the neuromuscular junction, which is the point where a nerve connects to a muscle.
VEP (Visual Evoked Potential)
Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to measure the electrical activity of the brain in response to visual stimuli. It evaluates the function of the visual pathway, which includes the eyes, optic nerves, and the visual areas of the brain.
SSEP (Somatosensory Evoked Potential)
Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) is a specialized diagnostic test used to evaluate the function of the sensory pathways that carry signals from the body to the brain. This test measures how well electrical signals travel through the peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and brain in response to sensory stimulation.
