Electromyography/Nerve Conduction Studies(“EMG” Muscle and nerve study) |
|
|
Electrodes are placed over muscles and small electrical stimulation is given over nerves to measure how they are functioning |
||
|
A small needle is inserted into different muscles without injecting anything or giving any electrical current, with the purpose of measuring how the muscle fibers are functioning |
||
|
Can be very helpful in evaluation of numbness, tingling, weakness, twitches or to see the extent of injury or healing |
|
|
Electroencephalography(“EEG” Brain wave study) |
|
|
Electrodes are attached in a painless way to the scalp so they can record the brain wave activity |
||
|
Can be helpful in evaluation of seizures, loss of consciousness, or other spells |
||
|
Routine Awake—done in clinic ~1hr |
||
|
Routine Awake and Sleep—done in clinic ~1-1:30hr |

Overnight Video EEG—for more prolonged monitoring |
||
|
Ambulatory EEG—can be attached and taken home for 2-3 days |
|
|
Polysomnography(Sleep study) |
|
|
Measures brain wave activity, breathing and oxygenation, and electrical activity of the heart in a painless way while you sleep |
||
|
Overnight studies are done in a private bedroom of our comfortable sleep laboratory |
||
|
Titration studies can also be done to find the right settings if you need a CPAP or other machine |

These are small injections to temporarily weaken certain muscles that may be playing a role in chronic migraines, spasticity, dystonia, and blepharospasm |
||
|
Done with and without use of EMG-guidance |
||
|
Can be repeated up to every 3 months |
