Clinical neurophysiology is responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases of the central, peripheral, and neuromuscular nervous systems—that is, the brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory organs, and muscle fibers. Additionally, specialists in this field monitor patients during surgical procedures to track their condition under sedation and assist with studies of sleep disorders.
Some of the tests we perform include:
-
Electroencephalogram (EEG): A test that measures brain activity, primarily used to diagnose epilepsy, but also to detect brain damage or dysfunction, sleep disorders, and tumors.
