Understand your care
A clearer picture of your neurological health.
Answers begin with the right evaluation
Your clinician recommends testing based on your symptoms and examination. Explore six options below, then confirm the exact test and office location with our team.
Brain activity
Scalp electrodes record electrical activity in the brain. The recording is considered alongside your symptoms, history and examination.
The team places electrodes on your scalp. Ask whether your appointment requires special preparation.
A longer recording
A longer EEG may help investigate events that are not captured during a shorter recording.
Confirm the planned recording length, setting and whether sleep recording is included.
Activity and events together
Synchronized video helps your clinician compare visible events with the brain-activity recording.
The team explains the recording process and privacy arrangements. Confirm the setting and what to bring.
Nerves and muscles
Complementary tests help evaluate weakness, numbness and suspected nerve or muscle disorders.
Nerve conduction studies use brief electrical stimulation; needle EMG records activity in selected muscles. Tell the team about implanted devices and blood-thinning medicines.
Memory and thinking
Structured questions and tasks assess memory, attention, language and other thinking skills in the context of daily life.
Bring relevant records and your usual hearing or vision aids. With your permission, someone who knows you well may provide helpful history.
Small nerves and sweating
Selected tests may assess nerve function related to sweating when small-fiber or autonomic involvement is suspected.
Ask which method your clinician recommends, where it is available and what preparation is needed.
English and Spanish. Use the instructions provided for your scheduled test; confirm preparation with our office.
