Electroencephalogram is a graphic record of electrical activity of the brain as recorded by an electroencephalograph which is useful in studying and detecting brain disorders.
Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) and Electromyography (EMG) are studies done to access if muscles and nerves are working properly. They are essential in diagnosis of carpel tunnel syndrome and are very useful in the diagnosis of a pinched nerve in the neck or lower body.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and a disturbance in at least one other thinking function (language or perception of reality for example). Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging and is not something that inevitably happens later in life. Rather, it is one of the dementing disorders, which are a group of brain diseases that result in the loss of mental and physical functions.
Parkinson's disease is a debilitating and progressive disorder in which the chemicals that facilitate electrical transmission between nerve cells are depleted. Symptoms usually begin in middle to later life with trembling of the lips and hands, loss of facial expression and muscular rigidity. As it progresses it may bring on body tremors, particularly in muscles as rest. Movements become slow and difficult; walking degrades to a shuffle. After many years physical incapacity may occur.
Migraine occurs in 15% of the general population. Accurate evaluation can provide excellent symptom relief and eliminate the possibility of more serious headache disorders.
Seizure disorder and epilepsy are due to abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. There are multiple types of seizures which occur. Newer therapies provide better seizure control and improved quality of life. |
