EMG – Muscle Disease Patients
EMG – Muscle Disease Patients
Welcome to our EMG (Electromyography) service dedicated to diagnosing and managing muscle diseases at our clinic. Led by Dr. S. Noorul Ameen, a highly skilled Consultant Neurologist with specialized expertise in neurophysiology, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for patients with muscle-related disorders.
Diagnosing Muscle Diseases
EMG is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerves controlling them. It helps in identifying various muscle diseases such as:
- Muscular Dystrophy: A group of genetic disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass.
- Myasthenia Gravis: An autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue.
- Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis: Inflammatory diseases that cause muscle weakness and inflammation.
- Motor Neuron Diseases: Conditions affecting the nerves that control voluntary muscles, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Noorul Ameen utilizes state-of-the-art EMG technology to conduct thorough assessments, including:
- Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): Measures how well nerves send electrical signals to muscles, aiding in the diagnosis of nerve disorders.
- Needle EMG: Involves inserting a needle electrode into muscles to record electrical activity, helping to assess the health of muscles and nerve-muscle interactions.
Personalized Treatment Plans
After diagnosis, we tailor treatment plans to address each patient’s unique needs. This may include:
- Medication Management: Prescribing medications to alleviate symptoms and slow disease progression.
- Physical Therapy: Implementing exercises to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and overall function.
- Lifestyle Recommendations: Providing guidance on lifestyle modifications to enhance quality of life and manage symptoms effectively.
