EEG

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a test used to record your brain’s electrical activity. The test involves passing small electrodes to your scalp. These electrodes are connected to a computer that records one’s brain activity. It is a noninvasive test that is particularly useful for diagnosing seizures; it is also helpful in evaluating several other conditions.
Instructions to prepare for the EEG:

Instructions to prepare for the EEG:

• Wash your hair the night before or the day of the test. Do not use any styling products such as hairspray or oil. Please remove any hair weaves, extensions, braids, etc., before your test.
• Do not consume caffeine-containing food or beverages (i.e., coffee, tea, colas, chocolate) for at least 6 hours prior to testing.
• If you are scheduled for a sleep-deprived EEG, do not sleep more than 4 hours the night before the test. We suggest you go to bed at midnight and wake up at 4 am.
• Take your usual medications unless otherwise instructed.
• Some patients like to bring a comb or brush to use after the test.

EMG, Nerve Conduction Study(NCS):

An EMG/NCS is an electrodiagnostic test to examine your nerves and muscles. It is normally a two-part procedure consisting of nerve conduction studies and an electromyogram (EMG).
Nerve conduction studies are performed by taping electrodes on the skin and giving small electrical pulses to a nerve. Although this gives an unusual sensation, it is not generally considered painful. Measurements are then taken to determine how fast and how well a nerve transmits messages.

Instructions to prepare for the EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies:

• Do not use lotion, bath oils, or creams. Wash your arms and legs well to remove body oils.
• Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes.
• Eat your typical meals.
• Take your regular medications as directed.
• Bring a list of your medications, especially any blood thinners.
