In-depth Neurological Diagnostics<\/h3>\n

The Foundation of Every Neurological Treatment<\/h5>\n

At the NERVAL private neurological practice in Wesel, we focus on the diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the nervous system \u2013 including the brain, sensory organs, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and musculature.<\/p>\n

In addition to the medical history, the clinical-neurological examination is a central component for the early detection of functional disorders and deficits of the nervous system. It forms the basis of all neurological diagnostics and makes it possible to establish initial suspected diagnoses. To obtain the most comprehensive picture of your health situation, we also conduct a psychiatric examination during the initial consultation. This allows us to consider neurological and psychological factors together \u2013 and derive a targeted, holistic therapy from them. <\/p>\n

Depending on the findings, further technical-instrumental examinations may be required to confirm the diagnosis or gain further insights. These include, among others, electrophysiological measurements, ultrasound examination of the vessels supplying the brain, or cerebrospinal fluid analysis. <\/p>\n

Neurological assessment and neuropsychological diagnostics are important components of differential diagnosis. They help to distinguish between different neurological diseases, evaluate symptoms in a targeted manner, and initiate the appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Electrophysiological Examinations<\/h3>\n

Measurement of Nerve and Muscle Activity<\/h5>\n

Our nerves and muscles communicate via electrical signals that are necessary for movement, sensation, and many other bodily functions. If this signal transmission is disturbed, it can lead to neurological disorders.
\nElectrophysiological examinations make it possible to precisely analyze the function of nerve pathways and muscles and to detect diseases at an early stage. <\/p>\n

As a private neurological practice in Wesel, we use various electrophysiological examinations to analyze nerve activity in detail. Depending on medical necessity, different measurement methods are used, providing valuable insights into the function of nerves and muscles:<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Electromyography (EMG) \u2013 Measuring Muscle Activity<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nElectromyography (EMG) is used to check the function of the muscles and their control by the nerves. A fine needle electrode is inserted into the muscle to measure electrical activity at rest and during movement. <\/p>\n

This examination can provide indications as to whether a muscle disease or damage to the nerves responsible for muscle control is present. It is used, among other things, for neuromuscular diseases, nerve injuries, or chronic muscle weakness.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) \u2013 How Well Are Your Nerves Functioning?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nDuring the NCV examination, electrodes are attached to the skin and electrical pulses are conducted through the nerve. This measures how quickly the signals are transmitted. If the transmission is slowed down, this can indicate nerve damage. <\/p>\n

One example is carpal tunnel syndrome, where a nerve in the wrist is compressed, which can lead to numbness or pain in the affected hand. Another common cause is polyneuropathy, a disease in which several nerves are damaged, especially in the legs or feet. Those affected often feel tingling, numbness, or pain in the affected areas. <\/p>\n

If the examination reveals evidence of nerve damage, further diagnostic steps may be necessary to localize the exact cause and the affected area. Depending on the findings, electromyography (EMG) or imaging techniques can help to establish a more precise diagnosis and initiate suitable treatment.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Evoked Potentials \u2013 Testing Stimulus Transmission in the Brain<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nThis examination checks whether nerve stimuli are correctly transmitted to the brain and processed there. Depending on the reason for the examination, different test procedures are used: <\/p>\n
