Neurophysiology Treatment in India
About Neurophysiology
Key Highlights
-
Provides objective, functional data about the nervous system that imaging scans cannot.Essential for diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders like epilepsy, neuropathy, and myopathy.Most tests are non-invasive or minimally invasive with little to no downtime.Helps localize the source of neurological symptoms (e.g., numbness, weakness, seizures).Guides treatment decisions, including medication management and surgical planning.
Who is this surgery for?
- Evaluating seizures, epilepsy, or unexplained episodes of altered consciousness.
- Diagnosing peripheral neuropathies (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome).
- Assessing muscle disorders (myopathies) or neuromuscular junction problems (e.g., myasthenia gravis).
- Investigating causes of numbness, tingling, chronic pain, or muscle weakness.
- Diagnosing and monitoring conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries.
- Evaluating sleep disorders, brain function in coma, or encephalopathy.
How to prepare
- Wash your hair and scalp thoroughly before an EEG; avoid hair products, oils, or sprays.
- Inform your neurologist about all medications, especially blood thinners or sedatives.
- For an EMG/NCS, avoid applying lotions or creams to the skin on the day of the test.
- You may be asked to avoid caffeine or stimulants for several hours before certain tests.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the arms and legs.
- Get a good night's sleep; for some sleep-deprived EEGs, you may be asked to stay awake the night before.
Risks & possible complications
- Discomfort or mild pain during needle insertion for EMG, similar to an acupuncture sensation.
- Minor bruising or soreness at the needle site after an EMG.
- Rare risk of infection or bleeding at the needle insertion site.
- Skin irritation from the adhesive used to attach EEG electrodes.
- Very rare risk of provoking a seizure during an EEG with flashing lights (photic stimulation).
- Anxiety or claustrophobia during the procedure, which can be managed with reassurance.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Most neurophysiology tests require no specific recovery time; you can resume normal activities immediately.
- If you had an EMG, you might experience temporary muscle soreness; over-the-counter pain relief can help.
- Clean the electrode sites with mild soap and water if any adhesive residue remains.
- Stay hydrated and rest if you feel fatigued, especially after a prolonged test.
- Your neurologist will schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the test results and next steps.
- Report any signs of infection (increased redness, swelling, or fever) at the needle site to your doctor.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
