Neurophysiology

Neurophysiology is the branch of physiology that deals with the nervous system. It helps in diagnosing problems that occur in the central nervous system and the muscular system. Neurophysiology, like other biological sciences, is a multidisciplinary science.

The most important difference between neurophysiology and neurology is that neurology is a field that focuses more on treatment, while neurophysiology is a field that focuses more on diagnosis.

Neurophysiological services provided in our center:

Video EEG (Electroencephalography) monitoring

• Routine video EEG monitoring recordings
• Video EEG monitoring recordings during daytime (1-4 hours) and nighttime sleep (4-8 hours)
• Video EEG monitoring recordings in ward conditions for a long time
• EEG recordings in home conditions outside the clinic and in intensive care units in other clinics

ENM (electroneuromyography) examinations

• Stimulation EMG
• Needle EMG
• Decrement test - Repetitive stimulation
