Nerve conduction studies are tests that measure how well your nerves are working. In 11-12 studies, small electrodes are placed on your skin to send and receive electrical signals. These signals show how quickly and effectively your nerves are transmitting signals, helping to identify any nerve damage or dysfunction.

An exam of neurobehavioral status is a medical procedure that evaluates your brain's functions. This includes assessing your cognitive abilities, emotional responses, and behavioral patterns. The first hour of the exam is typically dedicated to this initial evaluation.

The measurement of brain wave activity, or EEG, involves recording and analyzing electrical signals from your brain. Small sensors are placed on the scalp to capture these signals. This digital analysis helps in diagnosing conditions like epilepsy or sleep disorders.

This is a first-time office or outpatient visit lasting between 45-59 minutes. The healthcare provider evaluates your health, discusses your medical history, and may suggest further tests or treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions and understand your health better.

The measurement of brain wave activity, known as an EEG, records the brain's electrical signals. It's performed when you're awake and asleep to monitor your brain's functioning. It helps in diagnosing conditions like epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other neurological issues.

Nerve conduction studies involve testing the speed and strength of signals traveling through your nerves. This helps doctors identify nerve damage. In a 7-8 study procedure, 7-8 specific nerves are tested. You may feel a mild, brief tingling or shock during the test.
