Child Neurodiagnostics
Navigating the world of pediatric neurodiagnostics can be a challenging journey for both parents and healthcare providers.
When it comes to a child’s neurological health and development, accurate and timely diagnostics are very important. Recognizing if a child has neurological issues, from developmental delays to disorders, can be a source of concern and confusion for families.
Understanding Child Neurodiagnostics
Child neurodiagnostics is a branch of medical diagnostics that focuses on assessing and evaluating neurological conditions in children.
Neurodiagnostics involves using various tools and techniques to study and examine the structure and function of the nervous system in pediatric patients. These tests are essential for diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders in children.
Common Neurodiagnostics Tests
Kids Neuro Clinic is the best child neurology center in Dubai, boasting a specialized Neurophysiology laboratory staffed by a team of exceptionally skilled experts.
They conduct and interpret neurophysiological tests in a child-friendly and compassionate manner. Our state-of-the-art Neurodiagnostics clinic offers a wide range of tests to assess the health of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.
Below are some of the common neurodiagnostic procedures:
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) Measures brain electrical activity to identify any abnormal signs of brain activity.
- Routine/Standard EEGAn EEG to record and analyze electrical brain activity. Prolonged/Extended EEG An EEG conducted over an extended period, usually to monitor
- Sleep EEGEG performed during sleep, useful in diagnosing sleep disorders.
- Ambulatory EEGA portable EEG that monitors brain activity over an extended period.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Provides detailed images and visuals of the brain and spinal cord.
- Evoked Potentials Measures the brain's response to stimuli for diagnosing disorders.
- Nerve Conduction StudyAssess the function of peripheral nerves by measuring the speed and strength of electrical signals.
- Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Test Measures how nerves and muscles respond to repeated electrical impulses.
- Needle Electromyography (EMG) Uses a needle electrode to evaluate muscle and nerve health.
- Somatosensory Evoked Response (SSEP) Measures the speed of nerve signal transmission.
- Single Fiber EMGSensitive EMG technique to detect neuromuscular transmission issues.
- Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP)Measures the brain's response to visual stimuli.
- Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (ABR)An auditory test assessing the brain's response to sounds.
