Tests and procedures

• EEG and Video EEGRecords the brain’s electrical activity. Used to diagnose and classify epilepsy and seizures.
• Nerve conduction studies (NCS)Measures how well nerves carry signals. Used for neuropathy, nerve injury and carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Electromyography (EMG)Tests the electrical activity of muscles to tell nerve problems from muscle problems.
• Repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS)Checks the nerve–muscle junction. Used mainly in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis.
• Visual evoked potentials (VEP)Measures the brain’s response to visual signals. Helpful in optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis.
• Brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA)Tests the hearing pathway from the ear through the brainstem.
• Intravenous thrombolysisClot-dissolving treatment for eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke, given within the time window.
• Botulinum toxin injectionsFor selected conditions, including dystonia, hemifacial spasm and blepharospasm.
• Nerve and muscle biopsyTissue sampling to help diagnose selected nerve and muscle diseases.

Whether a test is needed is decided after a consultation. Availability of specific tests may vary; please confirm when booking.
