EEG

An EEG (electroencephalogram) test records the electrical activity of your brain. The test involves pasting small electrodes connected to a computer that records brain activity to your scalp. This noninvasive test is useful for diagnosing seizures and evaluating several other conditions.

HOW 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. Before your test, please remove any hair weaves, extensions, braids, etc.

  • Do not consume caffeine-containing food or beverages (i.e., coffee, tea, colas, chocolate) for at least 6 hours before the scheduled test.

  • 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 regular 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 usually a two-part procedure consisting of nerve conduction studies and an electromyogram (EMG). Nerve conduction studies are performed by taping an electrode 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 well a nerve transmits messages.

The Electromyogram (EMG) test evaluates the electrical activity in your muscles. A fine needle electrode is inserted into the muscle, which picks up the electricity normally present in the muscle. No electric shocks are given. The muscle’s electric activity is displayed on a screen and heard through a speaker so we can see and hear it. While the test takes about one to one-and-half hours to perform, the time may vary depending on the reason for the test.

How to Prepare for the EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies

  • Do not use lotion, bath oils, or creams.

  • Wash arms and legs well to remove all body oils

  • Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes.

  • Eat normal meals.

  • Take regular medications as directed.

  • Bring a list of your medications, especially any blood thinners.
