Your nervous system holds the key to understanding your symptoms — but how do we decode its messages? At Endeavor Health Neurosciences Institute, our neurophysiology testing team uses advanced technology to evaluate the electrical activity of your brain, nerves and muscles. Whether you’re dealing with unexplained seizures, autonomic disorders, numbness or muscle weakness, our team is here to provide answers and help you move forward with confidence.

Neurophysiology testing
Conditions we assess

What can neurophysiology testing reveal about your health? These advanced tests help us diagnose and evaluate a variety of conditions, including:

  • Epilepsy and seizure disorders
  • Neuropathy and nerve damage
  • Muscle disorders and weakness
  • Sensory impairments, such as hearing or vision loss
  • Chronic pain syndromes

Advanced neurophysiology tests

Neurophysiology testing shines a light on the inner workings of your nervous system. At Endeavor Health, we offer a range of specialized tests to uncover the answers you’re looking for. Our team performs each test with care and precision, ensuring accurate results that guide your treatment plan.

Autonomic testing

Uses a series of tests to examine the autonomic nervous system, which controls vital functions like heart rate and digestion (available at some locations)

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

Tracks electrical activity in the brain, helping to diagnose conditions like epilepsy or seizures

Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring

Continuous brain monitoring for epilepsy performed while you’re in the hospital or on an outpatient basis. This testing is only offered in our state-of-the-art Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMUs).

Electromyogram (EMG)

Measures muscle activity to pinpoint causes of pain, numbness or weakness

Evoked potential (EP) test

Evaluates sensory pathways for hearing, vision, touch and pain, helping detect abnormalities in how your nervous system processes signals (available at some locations)

Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test

Evaluates the speed of electrical signals traveling through your nerves which is key to diagnosing neuropathies, myopathies, myasthenia gravis and carpal tunnel syndrome
