EEG/Neurophysiology Lab

ECMC’s EEG/Neurophysiology Lab provides complete outpatient and inpatient neurodiagnostic and medical therapy for patients with diseases of the nervous and neuromuscular systems. The lab provides:

• electroencephalography (EEG)
• multimodality evoked potentials (used to check the condition of nerve pathways), including visual EP (from the eyes to the brain), brainstem auditory EP (from the ear to the brain) and somatosensory EP (of the upper and lower extremities)
• 24-hour ambulatory EEG
• EMG/nerve conduction studies (transmission of an impulse along a nerve fiber)

This neurodiagnostic lab provides service for the following conditions:

• EEG: epilepsy, altered mental status, dementia, coma, encephalitis, traumatic brain injury, syncope/vertigo
• EP: multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, brainstem pathology, anoxia, coma (prognosis), blindness, vertigo
• EMG/NC: neuropathy, myopathy, sciatica, myasthenia gravis

Our physicians, Dr. Insook Shin and Dr. Richard Cowan, welcome referrals. Call the lab for more information at (716) 898-3371, or fax us at (716) 898-3978.
