Frequently Asked Questions

Neurophysiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the study of the nervous system's functions and their relationship to the rest of the body.

Neurophysiology is used to diagnose and treat neurological disorders such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, movement disorders, and brain injuries.

The most common tests in neurophysiology are the electroencephalogram (EEG), the electromyogram (EMG), and the evoked potential (EP), which are used to assess the electrical activity of the brain, muscles, and nerves.

To perform an electroencephalogram, electrodes are placed on the patient's scalp to record the brain's electrical activity. It is a painless, noninvasive procedure that takes about 30 minutes.

In most cases, no special preparation is required before a neurophysiological test. However, in certain specific cases, the doctor may instruct the patient to stop taking certain medications.
