  2. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    Nerve conduction studies are beneficial to diagnose certain diseases of the nerves of the body. The test is not invasive, but can be painful due to the electrical shocks administered during the test. The shocks are associated with a low amount of electric current, so they pose minimal risk to the patients.

  3. Neurological examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurological_examination

    A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired. This typically includes a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history, [1] but not deeper investigation such as neuroimaging.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerve_examination

    The cranial nerve exam is a type of neurological examination.It is used to identify problems with the cranial nerves by physical examination.It has nine components. Each test is designed to assess the status of one or more of the twelve cranial nerves (I-XII).

    An upper limb neurological examination is part of the neurological examination, and is used to assess the motor and sensory neurons which supply the upper limbs.This assessment helps to detect any impairment of the nervous system, being used both as a screening and an investigative tool.

    This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...

  7. Repetitive nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_nerve_stimulation

    Repetitive nerve stimulation is a variant of the nerve conduction study where electrical stimulation is delivered to a motor nerve repeatedly several times per second. By observing the change in the muscle electrical response (CMAP) after several stimulations, a physician can assess for the presence of a neuromuscular junction disease, and differentiate between presynaptic and postsynaptic ...
