Our nervous system is a complex distribution of nerves that needs a specialist like a neurologist to diagnose and treat any concerns. Like any other ailment, the nervous system needs to be tested and evaluated before reaching a diagnosis and initiating treatment.

Our team of neurologists in Kashipur Uttarakhand, conduct common neurological exams that measure the nerve’s coordination levels, reflexes, and strength. Procedures which evaluate the above three basic punctualities of a nervous system include:

Lumbar Puncture:

Top neurologists recommend the lumbar puncture test to find the nervous system’s problem, including the spinal cord. The procedure involves inserting a needle into the spine to extract the spinal fluid for the test, and neurologists strongly believe that a spinal fluid test can tell a lot about the nervous system’s issues. The procedure is carried out under the numbing influence of anesthesia.

Tensilon Test:

The tensilon test done by a neuro specialist doctor uses a drug known as ‘tensilon’ to diagnose myasthenia gravis. Through this test, our neurologist doctor in Kashipur will observe how well this drug affects the movements of your muscles.

Electromyography(EMG):

Brain specialist doctors in Kashipur and elsewhere use this test to detect neuromuscular abnormalities between the spinal cord, peripheral nerves and the brain. It involves the insertion of small needles called electrodes into the muscle, which measures the electrical activity or muscle response to a nerve’s stimulation. Such activity is then recorded by a machine attached to the electrodes. This particular type of assessment causes discomfort and pain to the patient but the diagnostic result helps evaluate the magnitude of concern.

Sometimes, the best brain doctors in Kashipur may prescribe a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test to assess nerve signal’s ability to control muscles. On average, both tests will take an hour or longer to complete.

NCV electrodes are taped over the muscles where the EMG electrodes were once inserted. It is used to study the signalling capacity of the nerves. Most of the best neuro physicians in Kashipur would ask you to avoid consuming any nicotine, caffeine, blood-thinning drugs and even non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents 24 hours ahead of the EMG/NCV.

Electroencephalogram(EEG):

Most of the neurosurgeons in Kashipur use this test used to diagnose the brain’s electrical activity problems, especially seizure disorders, epilepsy, tumours, inflammation, psychiatric disorders, etc. This test is performed by attaching small, metal electrodes superficially to the scalp. The electrodes do not transmit any sensations; they record brain activity and reaction to the environment like light and noise.

Unlike electromyography, the electroencephalogram does not cause any discomfort, and sometimes the test is done while you are sleeping or under anaesthetic sedation. EEG could take a couple of minutes to an hour, and for this test, most of the best neuro doctors in Kashipur will always advise not to consume stimulants like caffeine before this test.
In epilepsy patients, EEG is also carried out for 24 hours to understand the responses of the brain to the environment.
