Neurology is the branch of medicine in which disorder of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles are treated. Some common symptoms of neurological disorders are:
Head ache,
Speech & swallowing disorders,
Fits,
walking or balancing difficulty,
Dizziness,
Visual disturbances,
Loss of conciousness ,
Tingling or numbness,
Weekness & paralusis,
Bladder control,
Sleep disturbances
We have a neurophysiology Lab having facilities for
NCV/EMG (Electromyography) : The two main procedures used to study nerves and muscles are needle electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV).
EP (Evoked potentials) : These studies use different stimuli, applied to specific nerves. The recordings are made over the surface of the head and the spine to evaluate whether the sensory impulses are conducting normally through the nerves, spinal cord or brain.
EEG (Electroencephalography) : This is the single laboratory test in the evaluation of patients with seizures and related disorders.
polysomnography (Sleep studies) : Polysomnography is a diagnostic test during which a number of physiologic variables are measured and recorded during sleep.
Physiologic sensor leads are placed on the patient in order to record:
Brain electrical activity, Eye and jaw muscle movement, Leg muscle movement, Airflow, Respiratory effort (chest and abdominal excursion), Oxygen saturation .
