๐Ÿ”ฌ Neurophysiology

Real-Time Insights into Brain and Nerve Function

At ONUS Robotic Hospitals, our Neurophysiology Department plays a vital role in diagnosing and managing conditions related to brain, nerve, and muscle function. Using highly advanced, non-invasive tests, we measure electrical activity and signals in your nervous system to help pinpoint the underlying cause of your neurological symptoms.

These tests are essential when symptoms are unclear, progressive, or involve intermittent nerve dysfunction. Our board-certified neurologists work closely with trained technicians to ensure precision and comfort throughout every neurophysiological study.

๐Ÿงช What is Neurophysiology?

Neurophysiology refers to the study of the nervous system’s function through the measurement of electrical signals from the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. By analyzing these signals, we can:

  • Diagnose seizure disorders like epilepsy
  • Identify nerve compression or damage
  • Assess muscle strength and neuromuscular transmission
  • Track brain activity patterns and abnormalities

โš™๏ธ Tests Offered at ONUS Neurophysiology Lab:

1. EEG (Electroencephalogram)
  • Monitors electrical activity in the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp
  • Helps diagnose epilepsy, seizures, encephalopathy, and sleep disorders
  • Available as routine EEG, sleep-deprived EEG, and video EEG monitoring
2. Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
  • Measures how quickly electrical signals move through your peripheral nerves
  • Diagnoses conditions like peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and nerve compression
  • Often paired with EMG for complete evaluation
3. EMG (Electromyography)
  • Records electrical activity of muscles during rest and movement
  • Identifies muscular diseases, motor neuron disease (like ALS), and neuromuscular junction disorders (like myasthenia gravis)
4. Evoked Potentials (Visual, Auditory, Somatosensory)
  • Measures the brainโ€™s response to stimuli (light, sound, touch)
  • Helps detect damage to sensory pathways from MS, spinal cord injury, or tumors
5. ENMG (Electroneuromyography)
  • Combines nerve conduction studies and EMG
  • Comprehensive tool for evaluating motor and sensory nerve function

๐Ÿง  Conditions Commonly Diagnosed Through Neurophysiology:

  • Epilepsy and seizure types
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Muscle disorders (myopathy, muscular dystrophy)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Sciatic nerve damage
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Myasthenia gravis
  • Bellโ€™s palsy and facial nerve dysfunction
 

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ Why Choose ONUS for Neurophysiology?

  • Experienced neurologists with specialized training in neuro-diagnostics
  • Advanced equipment with digital EEG/EMG systems
  • Comfortable, non-invasive testing procedures
  • Reports correlated with clinical diagnosis for precise results
  • Multilingual staff to ensure clear communication
  • Integrated follow-up care under the same roof

๐Ÿ“‹ What to Expect:

  • Tests are typically painless, though some may involve mild discomfort (like EMG)
  • Duration can vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the test
  • No major preparation required for most tests, though fasting/sleep deprivation may be advised for specific procedures like EEG

๐Ÿงฉ Role in Treatment Planning:

Neurophysiology testing is not just about diagnosis. It also:
  • Guides treatment plans and medication choice
  • Helps monitor the effectiveness of therapies
  • Determines prognosis in degenerative conditions
  • Aids in surgical planning or need for physical therapy
