General information on diagnostics

My practice offers a wide range of neurological examination procedures – modern, precise, and tailored to your individual needs. The goal is to specifically clarify your symptoms and create the best possible foundation for effective treatment.

Electroneurography (ENG) – measuring nerve conduction velocity

Electroneurography is a proven method for measuring nerve conduction. It helps in the diagnosis of polyneuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve syndrome, and other peripheral nerve disorders. A precise analysis of nerve function is the basis for targeted treatment.

Electromyography (EMG) – making muscle activity visible

Electromyography can be used to precisely detect neuromuscular disorders, muscle weakness, twitching, or muscle changes. This examination provides information about the condition of muscles and the nerves that supply them.

Evoked potentials (VEP, SEP, AEP)

Evoked potentials capture the electrical processing of stimuli in the central nervous system. They are particularly relevant in cases of visual disturbances, sensory disturbances, or suspected multiple sclerosis. Depending on the specific issue, visual (VEP), somatosensory (SEP), or auditory (AEP) potentials are measured.

Electroencephalography (EEG) – making brain activity visible

The EEG is a key method for measuring the electrical activity of the brain. It is used to diagnose:

Epilepsy and seizures

Disturbances of consciousness

Sleep disorders

Brain-related concentration problems

The examination is painless, non-invasive and allows a functional assessment of brain activity at rest and under stimulus conditions.

Vascular ultrasound – detect stroke risk

Duplex sonography of the vessels supplying the brain enables a painless and risk-free assessment of the neck and cerebral arteries. This examination is crucial for stroke prevention, e.g., in cases of arteriosclerosis, circulatory disorders, or after a previous stroke.

Skin biopsy – diagnosing small fiber neuropathy

For burning or abnormal sensations that remain unremarkable during conventional nerve measurements, a skin biopsy offers a precise diagnosis for small fiber neuropathy. This modern procedure allows for the quantitative counting of the small nerve fibers in the skin.

Laboratory tests – clarifying causes specifically

We carry out specialized neurological laboratory analyses, for example:

Polyneuropathies

chronic exhaustion and fatigue

cognitive disorders and memory problems

Infections with neurological involvement

Vitamin and metabolic deficiencies

These examinations provide important information for diagnosis and therapy.
