Neurology

What is neurology?

Neurology is the medical specialty concerned with the study and treatment of diseases of the nervous system, including the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. This discipline covers patients of all ages and focuses on the investigation and diagnosis of a wide range of neurological disorders.

Due to the complexity of the nervous system, the symptoms of neurological diseases can be quite varied, requiring a comprehensive approach. At Affidea, our neurologists use advanced complementary means of diagnosis, such as:

• Electroencephalography (EEG)

• Electromyography (EMG)

• Auditory Evoked Potentials

• Somatosensory Evoked Potentials

• Visual Evoked Potentials

• Sleep Polygraphy

These studies allow our specialists to perform accurate risk assessments, establish appropriate diagnoses and carry out an effective follow-up of each patient.
