Neurology and Diagnostic Testing Services

Neurology Services at Al-Mohammad Medical Center

Neurology services at Al-Mohammad Medical Center cover the assessment, diagnosis, and monitoring of central and peripheral nervous system disorders. A neurologist evaluates symptoms and selects investigations appropriate to the patient’s circumstances to guide care.

Diagnostic Tests

Electroencephalography (EEG)

EEG records the brain’s electrical activity and may be performed at rest or with stimuli such as light and deep breathing. It is undertaken on a neurologist’s assessment, including in the evaluation of seizures and epilepsy, and interpreted alongside the examination and other findings.

Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Studies (EMG/NCV)

These tests are performed by a neurologist to assess peripheral nerve and muscle function. Areas of investigation include:

• Neuropathies and muscle disorders

• Symptoms associated with cervical or lumbar disc conditions and radiculopathy

• Limb pain, weakness, tingling, numbness, or movement difficulties

Areas of Specialist Neurological Assessment

• Seizures and epilepsy

• Memory problems and dementia

• Brain inflammation

• Sleep problems, including insomnia and sleep apnea

• Chronic headaches and migraine

• Traumatic brain injury

• Assessment related to brain tumors

The neurologist determines which investigations each situation requires. This list does not mean that EEG diagnoses all of these conditions.

Testing and Interpretation

Neurological tests are performed by a neurologist using the center’s diagnostic equipment, and the findings are reviewed to plan continuing care.
