EEG – EMG

EEG involves perceiving the electrical activities of nervous cells in the brain through electrodes attached to the scalp and recording their voltages by computers. It is a simple test that does not disturb patients and lasts 10 to 15 minutes on average. EEG is a safe and informative analysis method for progressive or non-progressive central nervous system diseases. Our hospital's specialized doctors use EEG to identify all brain and significant nervous system disorders.
The EMG test consists of two parts and lasts, on average, 20 to 30 minutes. It offers details about muscles, nerves that innervate muscles, and the junction of the nerve and the muscle fibers (neuromuscular junction). This test helps our specialists clarify whether there is destruction in any nerve at any body part and enables you to get the necessary treatment.
