If you've ever asked “what is neurology” or searched for its practical applications, the answer lies in its mission: to preserve the function of the nervous system and improve patients’ lives. Neurology plays a vital role in managing everything from headaches to complex neurodegenerative diseases.

How Is a Neurological Examination Performed?

A neurology examination includes a detailed review of the patient's history, followed by a clinical assessment of the nervous system. Neurologists assess reflexes, strength, coordination, balance, vision, and mental status to localize and identify potential abnormalities. This examination helps guide further neurology tests and treatment planning.

·       EEG (including pediatric, sleep-phase, and awake-state EEGs)

These tests help in accurate diagnosis and effective planning of neurological disorders treatment.
