Neurological Diagnostic Testing

Neurological diagnostic testing helps physicians evaluate how the brain, nerves, and muscles are functioning. These tests provide important information that helps identify the cause of symptoms such as seizures, numbness, weakness, dizziness, or changes in memory and thinking.

Hackensack Neurology offers a range of specialized diagnostic studies to support accurate diagnosis and guide treatment decisions.

EEG Testing

Measures the brain’s electrical activity to help diagnose seizures, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.

Ambulatory EEG

Long-term brain activity monitoring performed at home to capture symptoms that may not occur during a short office test.

EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Evaluates nerve and muscle function to diagnose neuropathy, nerve compression, and neuromuscular disorders.

Carotid Ultrasound

Ultrasound that evaluates blood flow in the arteries that supply the brain and helps assess stroke risk.

Transcranial Doppler

Measures blood flow in the brain’s major arteries using ultrasound technology.

Skin Biopsy for Neuropathy

Detects damage to small nerve fibers that may cause burning pain, numbness, or tingling.

Why Neurological Testing Matters

Neurological symptoms can have many possible causes. Diagnostic testing helps your neurologist better understand how the nervous system is functioning and identify the most likely source of symptoms.

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward developing an effective treatment plan and protecting long-term neurological health.
