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.
Who is clinical neurophysiology aimed at?
01.
People with chronic pain without a clear cause
Clinical neurophysiology can detect neurological alterations that may be behind persistent pain, helping to guide the appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
02.
People with tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness
These symptoms may be related to dysfunctions in nerves or nerve roots. Neurophysiological tests make it possible to locate and evaluate them with precision.
03.
People with seizures, epilepsy, or loss of consciousness
Neurophysiological tests such as electroencephalograms help identify abnormal brain activity and enable a more precise diagnosis in cases of epilepsy or episodes of loss of consciousness.
04.
People with sleep disorders or persistent fatigue
Neurophysiology makes it possible to study sleep quality and detect conditions such as insomnia, daytime drowsiness, or neurological disorders that affect rest and daily performance.
01.
Electromyography (EMG)
EMG is a diagnostic examination used to evaluate the correct functioning and electrical activity of muscles and the motor neurons that control them.
02.
Electroneurography or nerve conduction study (ENG)
This is a study of the conduction of nerve fibres (motor, sensory, and mixed), evaluating the integrity and function of the peripheral nerves of the body.
03.
Sleep medical consultation
Focused on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnoea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and circadian rhythm disorders. The aim is to identify the cause of sleep-related problems and design an appropriate treatment plan.
04.
Evoked Potentials
- Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEP): objective assessment of hearing capacity.
- Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP): assessment of conduction along the visual pathway from the optic nerve to the occipital cortex.
- Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP): assessment of somatosensory conduction through the posterior spinal cord tracts.
05.
Electroencephalograms
- Baseline waking Video-EEG.
- Sleep deprivation Video-EEG.
- V-EEG/LTM: Video monitoring.
- Long-duration V-EEG/LTM (8–12 hours).
- Assessment of cerebral bioelectrical activity, study of critical and interictal cerebral irritative activity, ruling out focal signs and comorbidity.
- Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT): for the diagnosis of Narcolepsy and Idiopathic Hypersomnia.
06.
Long-duration V-EEG/LTM monitoring
12-hour, 24-hour sessions… with the aim of carrying out a thorough study of epileptic pathology.
07.
Nocturnal Sleep Studies – Nocturnal Polysomnographic Studies (NPS)
Diagnostic study of epilepsy and various sleep disorders. For example:
- Dyssomnias: intrinsic sleep disorders (insomnia and hypersomnia), extrinsic sleep disorders, and circadian rhythm disorders.
- Parasomnias: arousal disorders, sleep-wake transition disorders, parasomnias associated with REM sleep, and sleep disorders associated with medical or psychiatric conditions.

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.
What medical team carries out the neurophysiology tests?
The clinical neurophysiology tests at Imar Palma are performed by a specialised medical team, made up of clinical neurophysiologists and physiotherapists with advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. These professionals use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the precision of the tests and provide a clear and effective diagnosis, guaranteeing the patient’s wellbeing and comfort throughout the entire process.

Fui a verles porque tenía mucho dolor en las rodillas y me antendieron de forma super profesional, con un estudio previo muy detallado y conciso. He quedado muy satisfecha por su valoración y tratamiento. No se andan por las ramas y siempre buscan la mejor opción para el paciente. Todo el personal de la clínica es muy amable, atento y profesional. En cuanto a las instalaciones y equipamientos son una maravilla. Pocas consultas disponen de tantos medios de diagnóstico de última generación!Publicado en Topi Nat06/06/2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. El año pasado sufrí unos dolores totalmente incapacitantes en el hombro izquierdo que literalmente me paralizaron el brazo. Fernando me hizo una ecografía para ver la causa, y después me trató con radiofrecuencia y masajes, aliviando muchísimo el dolor aunque me avisó que tendría que pasar por quirófano. Después, ya recuperada de la operación, viendo que todo estaba perfecto, me dijo que no importaba que volviera a hacerme nada más, salvo que me volviese a doler. Podría haberme recomendado ir cada semana solo para ganar dinero, pero no lo hizo. La semana pasada volví con un problema en la mano y nuevamente salí contentísima, y sin dolor. Aparte de fisioterapia he visto que ofrecen otros servicios como neurocirugía, psicología, etc. ¡También tienen un tratamiento revolucionario para eliminar -o minimizar al máximo- los dolores menstruales en una sesión! En IMAR de verdad saben cómo tratarte, y lo hacen de forma absolutamente empática y honesta.Publicado en Jaume02/06/2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
