Neurophysiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the study and diagnosis of disorders of the nervous system. At Hospital Angeles Mocel a team of highly trained specialists in neurophysiology who provide state-of-the-art services for the diagnosis and treatment of various neurological diseases.
Our Neurophysiology service includes electroencephalographic (EEG) studies, which allow us to evaluate the brain’s electrical activity and detect possible abnormalities. We also perform evoked potential studies, which assess the nervous system’s response to visual, auditory, and somatosensory stimuli.
We also offer electromyography (EMG) studies, which assess the electrical activity of muscles and help diagnose neuromuscular disorders. We also perform nerve conduction velocity studies, which assess the speed of nerve impulse transmission and help diagnose conditions such as peripheral neuropathy.
At Hospital Angeles Mocel focus on providing quality care and excellence in neurophysiology. Our team of specialists uses state-of-the-art technology and advanced techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results. We are committed to the health and well-being of our patients, and we work closely with other specialists to offer a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. Trust us to provide you with first-rate medical care in neurophysiology.
Neurophysiology is a branch of medicine that studies the functioning of the nervous system and its disorders. It is used to diagnose and treat neurological diseases and disorders of the nervous system.
The most common tests performed in neurophysiology are electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and evoked potentials. These tests allow for the assessment of electrical activity in the brain, muscles, and nerves.
A neurophysiological study is performed by placing electrodes on different parts of the body, such as the scalp, muscles, or skin. These electrodes record electrical activity and send the information to specialized equipment that interprets it.
No, neurophysiology tests are not painful. Placing the electrodes may cause slight discomfort, but it should not be painful. Furthermore, the procedure is safe and noninvasive.
The duration of a neurophysiology study can vary depending on the type of study and the patient's needs. In general, a study can last between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
