While EEG is used in examining the causes of headaches, particularly in neurological disorders, EMG is used especially in spinal disc herniation and cervical disc herniation and in complaints such as paresthesia in arms and legs.
EEG prints the electrical activities generated by neurons of brain on paper as brain waves. EEG survey is referred to in many neurological disorders other than epilepsy, in examining the causes of headaches and in evaluation of brain functions. The examination method, which will have the treatment to be decided especially in examining the causes of syncope cases, diagnosis and type determination of epilepsy disease, is EEG.
EMG is monitoring neurons and muscles in our body through an electrical method. By using direct electric current, at a density not causing much discomfort for patients, electric transmission functions of neurons and potentials of muscles generated by discharging this electric are measured. It is performed for neural injuries, nerve entrapments, spinal and cervical disc herniations, cases such as paresthesia and burning in arms and legs, facial paralysis, diagnostics of diseases disturbing neural functions (Metabolic diseases; Diabetes, kidney failure, etc.), diagnostics of muscle diseases, diagnostics of spinal diseases followed by muscle atrophies.
