EEG
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. Brain cells communicate with each other through electrical impulses. An EEG can be used to help detect potential problems associated with this activity.

Nerve Conduction Study
A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test — also called a nerve conduction study (NCS) — measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve. NCV can identify nerve damage.

BERA
Brain stem evoked response audiometry (BERA) is an effective method of evaluating the auditory pathway from the peripheral endorgan through the brain stem. The authors have found this test to be a valuable adjunct to the neurotologic evaluation and have applied the study...

Video EEG
The "gold standard" in the diagnosis of nonepileptic seizures (NESs) is a recording of a typical event during video-EEG monitoring. This procedure is available at all centers specializing in epilepsy and is increasingly available at general hospitals...

Electromyography
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates the health condition of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. These nerve cells are known as motor neurons. They transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract and relax.

Polysomnography
Polysomnography, also called a sleep study, is a test used to diagnose sleep disorders. Polysomnography records your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, heart rate and breathing, as well as eye and leg movements during the study.

Continuous EEG Monitoring
Continuous EEG (CEEG) monitoring allows uninterrupted assessment of cerebral cortical activity with good spatial resolution and excellent temporal resolution. Thus, this procedure provides a means of constantly assessing brain function in critically...

Visual evoked Potential (VEP)
A visual evoked potential is an evoked potential caused by a visual stimulus, such as an alternating checkerboard pattern on a computer screen. Responses are recorded from electrodes that are placed on the back of your head and are observed as a reading on an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Botox Therapy
Botulinum toxin injection therapy (also known as "BOTOX therapy" or onabotulinumtoxinA) is used to treat dystonia - neuromuscular disorder that produces involuntary muscle contractions, or spasm - that affects muscles that control movement in the eyes, neck, face, limbs, voice box, or the smooth muscle in the bladder.

Conditions Treated

Epilepsyand Epileptic Encephalopathy
The concept of 'epileptic encephalopathies' is based on the assumption that aggressive ictal (seizure) and electrical (electrographic) epileptogenic activity during brain maturation is the main causative factor of progressive cognitive and neuropsychological deterioration or regression. ...Read more
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of disorders that affect muscle movement and coordination. In many cases, vision, hearing, and sensation are also affected. ...Read more
Global Developmental Delay
The term 'developmental delay' or 'global development delay' is used when a child takes longer to reach certain development milestones than other children their age...Read more

FAQs

Who are Pediatric Neurologist?
A Pediatric (child) neurologist is a doctor who has specialized training and has expertise to deal with all neurological problems of infant, child and adolescent from age 0-18 years. They deal with problems of brain, spine, nerves and muscles. Children are different from adults in terms of their ongoing development and associated neurological problems.
How are they different from Adult Neurologist?

Child brain is different from adult in terms of brain volume which is larger volume per kg body weight and is still not fully matured in children especially in less than five years. Child’s brain is a developing power house which needs an appropriate balance of nutrition and stimulation to achieve its potentials. Any impact in the developing brain will lead to a long term outcome on overall intelligence and physical ability... Read more
