Neurophysiology in Palma de Mallorca
What is neurophysiology?
Clinical neurophysiology is a medical speciality that studies the function of the nervous system, both central and peripheral, using electrical and physiological techniques. Its primary objective is to evaluate and diagnose disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles. Specialised tests are used to measure electrical activity and assess how nerves and muscles respond to stimuli.

What is the process at Imar Palma?
01.
The process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient, including a detailed analysis of their symptoms, medical history, and possible neurological problems. This makes it possible to identify the areas to be investigated and the type of tests required.
02.
Based on the assessment, the most appropriate neurophysiology tests are selected, such as electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies, or evoked potentials, to evaluate the functioning of the nervous system.
03.
The tests are carried out in a controlled manner under the supervision of a specialised professional, ensuring that the patient is comfortable and the process is performed with precision.
04.
Following the test results, a complete diagnosis is established. Based on the findings, a treatment plan is developed that may include physiotherapy, osteopathy, or other interventions to address the detected neurological dysfunctions.Sonnet 4.6
Is it painful or does it have side effects?
The clinical neurophysiology tests at Imar Palma are generally non-invasive and do not usually cause pain, although some, such as electromyography (EMG), may produce mild discomfort or a temporary cramping sensation. Tests such as evoked potentials and nerve conduction studies may cause mild sensations, such as tingling or vibration on the skin. Side effects are rare, and any discomfort experienced is temporary, disappearing shortly after the tests are completed.
What conditions do we help diagnose?
At Imar Palma, we treat various neurological conditions through clinical neurophysiology tests, such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. We also address polyneuropathies and radiculopathies, such as sciatica, which affect the nerves and nerve roots. Furthermore, we offer diagnosis and treatment for sleep disorders and degenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s, and others, with the aim of providing personalised and effective care for each patient.
