Clinical Neurophysiology

Clinical neurophysiology is a branch of medicine that studies the electrical activities of the nervous system, including the brain and nerves. It helps diagnose and manage conditions like epilepsy, nerve damage, and certain movement disorders. Through tests such as EEG (measuring brain waves) and EMG (assessing muscle and nerve function), neurophysiologists can gather important information about how the nervous system is working. This aids physicians in understanding disorders, guiding treatment options, and monitoring progress, ultimately enhancing patient care in neurology.
