How does a neurologist diagnose the problem?

Diagnosis for neuro related conditions

Neurologists are highly trained to detect all sorts of neuro conditions. To diagnose your condition he is going to perform different steps and tests which includes the following:

• Medical history & physical examination
• Testing the mental health, vision, speech, strength & sensation
• Coordination is checked
• Reflexed
• Gait

By performing the neurological examination it will be easier to evaluate the patient’s condition in a better manner.

 

Which are the tests performed by the neurologists?

Detailed understanding and evaluation of your condition are needed. For the same different neurological tests are done like:

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Electroencephalography (EEG)
• Lumbar puncture (LP) for cerebral spinal fluid analysis
• Computed tomography (CT) or computer-assisted tomography (CAT) scans
• Nerve conduction studies and electromyography (NCS/EMG)

Depending on what symptoms you have the neurologist will perform the tests like:

• Imaging test

It helps to have a better look at the brain & spine to detect if there is any sort of brain damage, tumor, or issue with the bones, nerves, disks, or blood vessels.

• EEG (Electroencephalograph)

An EEG test will check whether you have seizures or not. The electrodes are placed in the scalp and these will be attached to the machine. It’s a great option to check brain activity.

• Electromyogram

Through EMG the nerve and muscle communication is better checked. The electrodes will be put on the skin or the needle passes through the muscle.

• Evoked Potentials

Evoked potentials are one of the tests performed to check the way the brain responds to different scenarios like vision, nerves, and hearing. This test is kind of similar to EEG.

The neurologist has a better idea of which tests need to be performed and how your treatment plan should be made. The combination of everything will make it to come to a treatment plan which is effective in all ways.
