Neurophysiology

This examination method can be used to measure muscle activity. The results can be used to diagnose nerve and muscle conditions (e.g. slipped discs, paralysis, myopathies).

In this examination, the nerve conduction velocity is determined using fine electrical stimulation of the affected nerve at various points and surface electrodes across the corresponding muscle.

This examination method can be used to examine sensory nerve pathways (perception of touch). The neural pathways from the arms and legs to the brain can be examined via fine electrical stimulation of the affected nerve and conduction using surface electrodes on the head.

In this examination, the motor nerve pathways are examined using magnetic stimulation on the head or back and surface electrodes on the corresponding muscles. This examination method helps to diagnose conditions that affect motor nerve pathways such as spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis.

Using surface electrodes on the head, it is possible to record and examine the bioelectrical brain activity. During this process, the brain waves are recorded and examined for changes. This method is very important for patients with epilepsy, sleep disorders and other differential diagnoses.

This examination can assess the autonomic nervous system (responsible for involuntary bodily functions such as sweating, blood circulation). By attaching surface electrodes to the hands and feet and stimulating various nerves, the SSR examination can help to diagnose a variety of neurological conditions.

Treating spasticity with botulinum toxin.

This procedure can be used to visualise nerves, blood vessels and possible pathological changes with the help of ultrasound waves.

This examination tests the perception of heat, cold, touch and sharp stimuli. This sensitivity test helps to better classify nerve pain and provide more targeted treatment. Our sensory pathways laboratory is certified for this examination.

LEP can be used to investigate how well the nerves transmit pain and how the pain stimulus reaches the brain. This involves stimulating the skin with a short laser pulse and measuring nerve conduction using surface electrodes on the head.

This examination can be used to determine whether the nerves that transmit pain are working properly. For this purpose, short heat stimuli are released onto the skin using a thermode. The stimuli triggered are measured and evaluated using surface electrodes on the head.

In this examination, an electrode is used to electrically stimulate the skin. The change that this triggers in the skin’s blood flow can be measured using a laser beam. This measurement can provide information on the function of the “small nerve fibres”.

This examination method uses an infrared camera to measure the skin’s temperature, which can be important for certain neurological conditions.
