Clinical Neurophysiology

Introduction Sleepwalking in adults triggered by sleep deprivation (somnambulism) is often associated with children, but it can persist or appear in adulthood, sometimes leading to significant health and safety concerns. One of the strongest triggers identified in adults is sleep deprivation or “sleep debt.” Clinical studies have shown that lack of sleep can dramatically increase

Introduction Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test used in clinical neurophysiology to assess the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. It helps evaluate the health of muscles and the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control them. Why it matters: EMG

1. Introduction: The Clinical Utility of EEG Electroencephalography (EEG) remains one of the most accessible and powerful tools in clinical neurophysiology. In everyday practice, it is often the first test requested when epilepsy is suspected, but its interpretation requires more than recognizing patterns—it requires understanding what those patterns mean in real clinical scenarios. 2.
