Neurophysiology
Service description
What is neurophysiology?
Neurophysiology is a medical specialty that studies the functioning of the nervous system by recording and evaluating the bioelectrical activity generated by the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and neuromuscular plate. During consultations, the specialist focuses on identifying the types of lesions and their precise location.
Our neurophysiology service at Affidea specializes in the evaluation and diagnosis of neurological disorders through advanced neurophysiological tests and studies. We have a team of highly trained specialists who use state-of-the-art technologies to analyze the electrical activity of the central and peripheral nervous system.
For this purpose, various complementary diagnostic tests are requested, including:
Electromyography (EMG): qualitative assessments, single fiber electromyography and nerve conduction studies to analyze muscle and nerve function.
Electroencephalogram (EEG): We perform EEG in adults and children, as well as EEG during sleep, to detect alterations in brain electrical activity.
Multiple latency tests: Used to evaluate nerve conduction velocity.
Evoked potentials: These include somatosensory and pudendal nerve evoked potentials, which help assess the integrity of nerve pathways.
These tests require sophisticated equipment and a qualified medical and technical team, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
At Affidea, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive and personalized approach, tailoring our tests to each patient's individual needs. Our team strives to provide a comfortable and compassionate environment during procedures, ensuring that patients feel at ease and understand the process.
Diagnostic accuracy is essential to our neurophysiology practice, supported by state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of our professionals. We work closely with other medical specialists to provide valuable information to guide treatment planning and improve our patients' quality of life.
Common pathologies
The pathologies we evaluate and diagnose through our neurophysiological studies include:
Epilepsy and other seizure disorders
Peripheral neuropathies
Myasthenia gravis
Neuromuscular diseases
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea
Neurophysiology testing
We offer a wide range of neurophysiological tests for the diagnosis of various conditions. Each test is designed to provide detailed information about the function of the nervous system and facilitate an accurate diagnosis. At Affidea, our goal is to ensure that each patient receives the best possible care through a clear and timely diagnosis.
