Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective neurological treatment. Many disorders of the brain, nerves, and muscles cannot be diagnosed through symptoms alone and require specialized diagnostic testing. EEG, EMG, and other neurodiagnostic studies play a critical role in identifying the exact cause of neurological symptoms and guiding appropriate treatment.
As a trusted Neurodiagnostic Specialist in Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR, Dr. Himanshu Shakya offers advanced EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction studies with a strong focus on precision, patient comfort, and clinical accuracy. With extensive experience in neurological diagnostics, he ensures that every test is performed and interpreted carefully to support the best possible clinical outcomes.
Understanding Neurodiagnostic Tests
Neurodiagnostic tests are specialized procedures that evaluate the electrical activity of the brain, nerves, and muscles. These tests help neurologists understand how the nervous system is functioning and identify abnormalities that may not be visible on routine imaging.
EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction studies are essential tools in diagnosing conditions such as epilepsy, nerve damage, muscle disorders, and unexplained neurological symptoms.
What Is an EEG (Electroencephalogram)?
An EEG is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the brain. It helps detect abnormal brain wave patterns that may indicate neurological conditions.
Conditions Diagnosed Using EEG:
Epilepsy and seizure disorders
Altered consciousness or blackouts
Encephalopathy and brain dysfunction
Sleep-related neurological disorders
EEG is painless, safe, and commonly used in both adults and children.
What Is an EMG (Electromyography)?
EMG is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerves that control them. It measures the electrical activity produced by muscles during rest and contraction.
Conditions Evaluated with EMG:
Muscle weakness or wasting
Myopathy and muscle disorders
Motor neuron diseases
Neuromuscular junction disorders
EMG helps differentiate between nerve-related and muscle-related causes of weakness.
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
Nerve Conduction Studies assess how well electrical signals travel through peripheral nerves. This test is often performed along with EMG for a comprehensive neuromuscular evaluation.
Conditions Diagnosed Using NCS:
Peripheral neuropathy
Diabetic nerve damage
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Nerve compression and injury
Sciatica and radiculopathy
NCS plays a crucial role in identifying the severity and type of nerve damage.

When Are EEG, EMG, or NCS Tests Required?
You may be advised neurodiagnostic testing if you experience:
Seizures or unexplained blackouts
Persistent headaches with neurological symptoms
Numbness, tingling, or nerve pain
Muscle weakness or fatigue
Tremors or movement abnormalities
Unexplained loss of sensation
Early testing leads to early diagnosis and better outcomes.
