Neurophysiologists are trained to conduct and interpret the following specific tests:
- Blood pressure, heart rate, bladder control, and sexual function are all tested via autonomic function testing.
- EEG (electroencephalogram) is used to diagnose seizures, fainting, or blackouts.
- EMG (electromyogram) is used to assess muscle or nerve discomfort, numbness, tingling, or weakening.
- Potentials were elicited to assess dizziness, numbness, tingling, and visual abnormalities.
- Nerve conduction investigations are used to determine the electrical activity of muscles.
- Sleep studies are used to monitor brain wave activity while sleeping and to identify particular reasons for sleep disturbances.
