I. Tests for nerve, muscle and spine disorders
These tests are crucial in evaluating various neurological disorders affecting the peripheral and central nervous system, neuromuscular junction and muscles
Nerve Conduction Studies
Electromyography (EMG)
Repetitive Nerve Stimulation
Single-fibre EMG
Peripheral nerve and muscle ultrasound
Blink reflex and facial nerve conduction studies
Somatosensory evoked studies (Median and Tibial)
Brainstem evoked potentials
Motor evoked potential - Transcranial magnetic stimulation
II. Tests for epilepsy disorders
Routine 30-minute electroencephalogram (EEG) recording
Prolonged EEG recording
Continuous EEG monitoring
III. Tests for visual pathway assessment
Visual evoked potentials
IV. Tests for stroke disorders
Extracranial Doppler studies of the carotids
Transcranial Doppler
Vasomotor reactivity of intracranial vessels
Right-to-left stunt study by Transcranial Doppler
V. Tests for autonomic nervous system disorders and small fibre peripheral nerve disorders
These tests evaluate the autonomic nervous system and small nerve fibres in patients presenting with autonomic symptoms (e.g., postural dizziness, palpitations, dry eyes/mouth) or small fibre sensory symptoms (e.g., extreme skin sensitivity, burning feet sensation).
Tilt Table Test with Heart Rate Variability
Quantitative Sweat Test
Thermal Sensory Test
Stimulated Skin Wrinkling
Skin Biopsy for Intra-Epidermal Nerve Fibre Density
