Electroneurography (ENG) at the Neuro Praxis Düsseldorf
Electroneurography (ENG) is used to clarify the causes of gradual muscle weakness, muscle pain and unsteady gait
Electrography (ENG) plays an important role in the diagnosis of the following diseases:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Muscle and nerve diseases
- Polyneuropathy
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Myasthenia gravis
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
- Radiculopathy
- compression neuropathy.
- Electroneurography can also be used to assess the degree of damage to nerves or muscles and to monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
The exact execution of the measurements is crucial for a precise diagnosis
The electroneurography examination method helps to clarify temporary or permanent feelings of numbness in the arms, legs or face.
Electroneurography is used to clarify the causes of gradual muscle weakness, muscle pain and unsteady gait.
The conductivity and conduction speed of nerves are examined.
The method shows whether and in which section of the nerve course there is a disease. For this purpose, measuring electrodes are placed in the supply area of the corresponding nerves on the arm, leg or face.
Through stimulation placed exactly along the course of the nerves, impulses are transmitted to the muscle or the skin. These impulses can feel like momentary pounding in the nerve course.
Electroneurography (ENoG) is a medical examination that examines the function of nerves in the body. It is used to detect disorders of the peripheral nervous system and to confirm or rule out the diagnosis of disorders such as polyneuropathy, neuromuscular disorders, peripheral nervous system lesions, or peripheral nervous system damage.
The ENoG is performed by placing a set of electrodes on specific parts of the body to measure the electrical impulses of the nerves. These pulses are then recorded and displayed on a monitor. The conductivity and conduction speed of nerves are examined.
