From the Jefferson Einstein Sleep Center in Philadelphia to expert forums in India.
EMG · NCV · EEG · Sleep Study — In-House
Neurodiagnostic tests and sleep studies performed in-house and interpreted by the treating neurologist himself, so your test answers the question your treatment depends on.
EEG
Brain electrical activity — the key test for seizures, epilepsy and unexplained episodes of altered awareness.
NCV
Nerve conduction studies — the definitive test for neuropathy, carpal tunnel and nerve injuries.
EMG
Muscle electrophysiology — distinguishing nerve from muscle disease, including testing for myasthenia gravis.
Sleep Study
Polysomnography — records breathing, oxygen, brain waves and movement through sleep; the key test for sleep apnoea, heavy snoring and unexplained daytime sleepiness.

The full range of neurological and sleep disorders: headache and migraine, epilepsy and seizures, stroke, Parkinson's disease, neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, insomnia, sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders.
What makes this clinic different?
American Board certifications in neurology and sleep medicine that you can independently verify, US training at leading institutions, hospital leadership experience, and EMG, NCV and EEG testing performed in-house.
Are EEG, EMG, NCV and sleep studies available at the clinic?
Yes. EEG, EMG, NCV and sleep studies are performed at the clinic and interpreted by the treating neurologist himself, so results integrate directly into your treatment plan. Outside physician referrals are welcome.
Do I need a referral to see a neurologist?
No referral is needed. You can book directly. Do bring any previous reports, scans and a list of current medications to your consultation.
How do I choose the best neurologist in Patna, Samastipur or Bihar?
Look for verifiable credentials rather than advertisements: specialist qualifications, where the doctor trained, board certifications you can independently check, hospital leadership experience, and whether diagnostics such as EEG, NCV/EMG and sleep studies are performed under the same roof.
What is a sleep study?
A sleep study (polysomnography) records your breathing, oxygen level, heart rhythm, brain waves and movements while you sleep. It is the standard test to confirm sleep apnoea, and it helps investigate heavy snoring, unexplained daytime sleepiness, restless legs and unusual behaviour at night.
What are the signs of sleep apnoea, and how is it treated?
Loud snoring, pauses in breathing or gasping during sleep (often noticed by a partner), waking unrefreshed, morning headaches and daytime sleepiness are common signs. Untreated sleep apnoea is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Treatment depends on the type and severity found on the sleep study — options include CPAP therapy, weight management, positional therapy and oral appliances, with referral for surgery in selected cases.
When should I see a neurologist?
See a neurologist for frequent or severe headaches, seizures or fainting spells, numbness, tingling or weakness, tremor or slowness of movement, memory problems, or after a stroke or mini-stroke. Sudden weakness, facial drooping or slurred speech is an emergency — call 102 / 108 straight away.
