Question 1

What does a Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist do?

Accepted Answer

A Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist is a Neurology physician with focused training in the diagnostic evaluation of nervous system function using EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction studies. After completing Neurology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general neurologist typically handles day to day.

Question 2

What conditions does a Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist treat?

Accepted Answer

A Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist commonly treats epilepsy and seizures, peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathy, and neuromuscular junction disorders. Many also see closely related conditions within Neurology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general neurologist.

Question 3

When should I see a Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist?

Accepted Answer

Consider seeing a Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist when your evaluation requires EEG, EMG, or nerve conduction studies to clarify a neurological diagnosis, when a primary care clinician or general neurologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

Question 4

How is a Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist different from a general neurologist?

Accepted Answer

Both are board-eligible neurologists, but a Clinical Neurophysiology neurologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the diagnostic evaluation of nervous system function using EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction studies. General neurologists treat a broad range of Neurology concerns; Clinical Neurophysiology neurologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with epilepsy and seizures, peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathy, and neuromuscular junction disorders.
