Frequently Asked Questions

Neurophysiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the study and diagnosis of disorders of the nervous system through the evaluation of the electrical and functional activity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

It is recommended to visit a neurophysiology clinic if you experience symptoms or suspect neurological disorders such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, neuromuscular diseases, movement disorders, and others.

The most common tests performed in neurophysiology include the electroencephalogram (EEG), the electromyogram (EMG), evoked potentials, and polysomnography, among others.

An electroencephalogram is performed by placing electrodes on the patient's scalp, which record the brain's electrical activity. It is a painless, noninvasive procedure that lasts approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

Preparation may vary depending on the type of test. In some cases, you may be asked to avoid certain medications or foods before the test. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions to ensure accurate results.
