Comprehensive Neurology Diagnostic Services at Padmashree Diagnostics
Neurological disorders can affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, numbness, weakness, seizures, memory problems, and movement disorders. At Padmashree Diagnostics, we provide advanced neurophysiological testing performed by experienced specialists using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
01
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of
the brain through small electrodes placed on the scalp. It helps identify abnormalities in brain
wave patterns associated with various neurological conditions.
Seizures and epilepsy
Unexplained loss of consciousness
Frequent fainting episodes
Sleep disorders
Memory disturbances
Brain infections and inflammation

Electromyography evaluates the electrical activity of muscles and the nerves controlling them. It helps determine whether muscle weakness is caused by nerve disorders or primary muscle diseases.
Muscle weakness
Muscle cramps
Muscle wasting
Numbness and tingling
Difficulty walking

03
NCS measures how fast and how strongly electrical signals travel along your nerves. It is used to detect nerve damage caused by diabetes, injuries, entrapment syndromes like carpal tunnel, and systemic conditions.
Conditions diagnosed: Carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, Guillain- Barré syndrome, nerve injury
Conditions diagnosed: Carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, Guillain- Barré syndrome, nerve injury
04
BERA evaluates the auditory pathway from the ear to the brainstem and is particularly valuable for newborn hearing screening, diagnosing auditory neuropathy, and assessing hearing in children who cannot cooperate with standard tests.
Conditions diagnosed: Sensorineural hearing loss, auditory neuropathy, brainstem lesions, neonatal hearing screening
Conditions diagnosed: Sensorineural hearing loss, auditory neuropathy, brainstem lesions, neonatal hearing screening
05
VEP measures the brain's electrical response to visual stimulation and is a sensitive test for detecting optic nerve disease. It plays an important role in diagnosing multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, and other visual pathway disorders.
Conditions diagnosed: Optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, visual pathway lesions, amblyopia assessment
Conditions diagnosed: Optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, visual pathway lesions, amblyopia assessment

How long does an EEG take and when will I get results? (EEG)
EEG typically takes 20–40 minutes. Reports are usually available the same day or within 24 hours after neurologist review.
Is EEG painful or unsafe? (EEG)
No, EEG is completely safe, painless, and non-invasive. It only records electrical activity and does not deliver any current to the brain.
Is Nerve Conduction Study or EMG painful? (NCS/EMG)
- NCS: Mild tingling sensation due to small electrical impulses
- EMG: Slight discomfort from fine needle insertion
Both are generally well tolerated and performed by trained specialists.
How should I prepare for NCS/EMG tests? (NCS/EMG)
- Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams on the skin
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing
- Inform us if you are on blood thinners or have a pacemaker
Is sedation safe for children during BERA? (BERA)
Yes, if required, mild sedation is administered under medical supervision to ensure the child remains still. Safety protocols are strictly followed.
Do I need to wear glasses during a VEP test? (VEP)
Yes, if you normally use glasses or contact lenses, you should wear them during the test for accurate results.
What symptoms require neurodiagnostic testing? (General)
These tests may be recommended if you have:
- Seizures or epilepsy
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Vision problems
- Hearing loss
- Suspected nerve or muscle disorders
Can I take my regular medications before these tests? (General)
In most cases, yes. However, certain neurological tests may require adjustments. Always follow your doctor’s advice.
How soon will I receive my reports? (Reports)
- EEG / VEP: Same day or next day
- NCS / EMG: Same day
- BERA: Within 24 hours
Are these tests safe for elderly patients? (Safety)
Yes, all neurodiagnostic tests are generally safe for elderly patients and are conducted under expert supervision.
What happens if my results are abnormal? (Follow-up)
A neurologist will interpret your results and guide further evaluation, treatment, or additional testing if required.
