Testing of autonomic nervous system function assesses how well your body's automatic processes, like heart rate and blood pressure, are working. It involves various non-invasive tests like heart rate variability and sweat production tests.

This test assesses how your nervous system controls body functions like heart rate. During the test, you'll do breathing exercises and your body position will be changed, like being tilted, to observe your heart's response. It's safe and helps diagnose various conditions.

Measurement of brain wave activity, also known as an EEG, is a non-invasive test that records electrical patterns in your brain. This procedure is done when you're awake and drowsy to understand how your brain functions during different states of consciousness.

This is a test called caloric stimulation, used to check your balance function. During this procedure, warm and cool water are gently introduced into your ears. Your eye movements are then observed, as they can indicate issues with balance or inner ear function.

This procedure involves a series of evaluations and tests to analyze your balance. Recordings are made to track your performance, helping identify any issues. This aids in determining the best treatment for any balance disorders you may have.

A rotating chair test helps doctors assess balance issues. You'll sit in a motorized chair that spins at controlled speeds. As the chair moves, your eye movements are monitored to identify any irregularities, which can indicate balance disorders.
