KASTURI ENMG LAB (SHUBA NEURO LAB)
KASTURI ENMG LAB is an Electro Neuro MyographyLab. Here your nerves and muscles can be tested. Unlike the MRI / CT scan, which gives information about the structure, ENMGassesses the functioning of nerves. It will report the action, site, nature andseverity of nerve damage outside the brain. This is a unique Whole-bodyNerve-Muscle test, conducted under the guidance of Neuro Electro physiologist. This can be done for any patient, even if he is sick. No preparation or fasting is required. There are no side effects. You need to fix prior appointment.
1.NERVE CONDUCTION STUDY (NCS)
This study tests the nerves in your hands and legs. By analysing the graphs, the doctor will be able to identify the nerve lesion,site, severity, type and can predict the prognosis. Two types of nerves (Motor, Sensory) can be tested. It is useful in diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, Radiculopathy, GBS/CIDP, Wrist and Foot Drop, Facial Palsy, Meralgia Paraesthetica, Vasculitic, Diabetic and other Peripheral neuropathies.
2. ELECTRO MYO GRAPH (EMG)
A very thin special needle is inserted into the muscle at any part of the body, without pain. The muscle’stiny twitchingcan be recorded. These twitches can be felt by patient,but cannot be seen. This test is helpful for yourneurologist in making the diagnosis of Muscular Dystrophy, Myopathy, Motor Neuron Disease, AHCD, Myasthenia Gravis etc. By confirming the diagnosis, the severity of your disease and life expectancy can be predicted.
3. EVOKED POTENTIALS (EP)
Vision, Hearing and Touch starts from the body and reaches the brain via nerves. The pathway of its travel and its problems can be assessed with the help of a test called Evoked Potential. Visual, hearing and sensory stimuli are given at the concerned point and the impulses are recorded from the brain. This will identify the lesions affecting the nerve pathways carrying these signals to the brain and help in the diagnoses of optic neuritis (multiple sclerosis), deafness in babies, spinal cord injuries during surgery etc.
4. REPETETIVE NERVE STIMULATION(RNS)
If we do work continuously and repeatedly, we get fatigued. In a disease called myasthenia, this fatigue occurs much earlier to the extent that the patient develops weakness of limbs, cannot do his daily activities and even gets difficulty in breathing. By giving quick repeated nerve stimuli, the action of the muscle is measured which will show a declining activity by which Myasthenic illnesses can be diagnosed.
5. ELECTRO ENCEPHALO GRAPH (EEG)
Continuous electrical activity is going on in our brain normally. Patients with epilepsy get abnormal electrical activity which can be identified by EEG. With the help of EEGthe doctor can diagnose epilepsy, its nature and the region of the brain where it is arising from and can plan for the treatment. EEG is a vital test in all patients with seizures. For this test you have to come with dry hair (shampoo bath) with prior appointment.
TIRUCHENGODU NEURO SERVICE
To serve his birth place, the doctor visits Tiruchengodu on every month’s First Sunday. He started this service since 2003, at Kavitha Hospital from where he has moved to SUGUNA HOSPITAL, ERODE ROAD, TIRUCHENGODU, (Ph: 04288-250097) during 2017. Here you can avail his services from 9am to 5pm on every month’s First Sunday. The booking is done on the same day as “IN-PERSON BOOKING”. Patients are seen as “First come – First Serve Basis”.
