Clinical Electrophysiological Testing is based on techniques derived from electrophysiology used for the clinical diagnosis of patients. There are many processes that occur in the body which produce electrical signals that can be detected. Depending on the location and the source of these signals, distinct methods and techniques have been ...
A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired. This typically includes a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history , [ 1 ] but not deeper investigation such as neuroimaging .
Videonystagmography (VNG) is a type of testing used to assess vestibular and central nervous system function through the use of eye movement tracking, specifically evaluating nystagmus. [1] The older version of technology used to perform these tests, known as electronystagmography (ENG), leverages electrophysiological signals.
This certification is open only to neurologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists that have completed a fellowship in neuromuscular medicine. The neuromuscular medicine examination includes electrodiagnostic testing as part of the certification examination but also includes broader topics such as genetics, biopsy, and ...
This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...
[6] [7] [8] The test is non-invasive and can be performed in an outpatient clinic or hospital setting. The nerve conduction study is often combined with needle electromyography . The Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General recently identified the use of NCSs without a needle electromyography at the same time a sign of ...
A number of online neuroscience databases are available which provide information regarding gene expression, neurons, macroscopic brain structure, and neurological or psychiatric disorders. Some databases contain descriptive and numerical data, some to brain function, others offer access to 'raw' imaging data, such as postmortem brain sections ...
An EEG recording setup using the 10-10 system of electrode placement. EEG is the gold standard diagnostic procedure to confirm epilepsy.The sensitivity of a routine EEG to detect interictal epileptiform discharges at epilepsy centers has been reported to be in the range of 29–55%. [8]
