Neurophysiology

Clinical Neurophysiology is the medical specialty based on knowledge of basic neuroscience. Its aim is to examine the function of the central and peripheral nervous system using highly specialized technology for the purposes of diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic guidance, together with the necessary neurophysiological techniques which include electroencephalography, electroneurography, electromyography and evoked potential studies.

Today, the dominant technology is focused on directly or indirectly recording, converting, processing and analysing the bioelectrical phenomena of the above systems.

The specialty also includes other techniques that, although in the development phase, enable a quantitative analysis of neurobiological variables for clinical application.

Clinical Neurophysiology is the set of techniques for studying and assessing the physiological and pathological functions of the nervous system (central, sensory, autonomic and neuromuscular). Its scope essentially covers all pathologies of the nervous system.

Given that primary or secondary nervous system disorders fall within the scope of all medical and surgical specialties (primarily, in order of demand, Paediatrics, Traumatology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Rheumatology, Pulmonology, Internal Medicine, Rehabilitation, Otorhinolaryngology, Ophthalmology, Intensive Medicine, Legal Medicine, and so on), Clinical Neurophysiology is classified as a Central Service. In addition, all areas of medical research benefit from the contribution of this specialty.
