The following tests are available at Nassau Suffolk Neurology P.C.
EMG/NCV
Electromyography and nerve conduction velocity studies (EMG/NCV) are diagnostic tests used to evaluate nerve and muscle activity. They are used in evaluating symptoms of weakness, numbness, and pain.
EEG
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to evaluate the brain’s electrical activity. This study is performed using small electrodes which are attached to the scalp. EEG’s help to diagnose epilepsy, dementia and other brain disorders. For more information on EEG Testing, please click here.
BAER
The Brain Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) can show how your brain processes the sounds you hear. This study can reveal if a person is experiencing hearing loss and certain neurological disorders. A BAER test is simple and quick.
VER
The Visually Evoked Potential (VEP) is a straightforward test that examines the parts of the brain used to process vision and is often used to evaluate visual symptoms such as blurry or double vision.
Balance Testing
The vestibular components of the body are the parts of the inner ear and brain that control balance and eye movements. Many things can affect this system such as age, accidents, or disorders and can result in many symptoms. Dizziness, loss of hearing, and a change of vision can be some of the symptoms caused by problems of the vestibular system.
ANS Study
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is the part of the nervous system that controls the unconscious decisions of the body such as breathing, heartbeat, and other bodily processes. ANS problems can occur in Diabetes, Parkinson’s, and other conditions as well.
