Neurological examination: what does it include?
At Medical Centre, we perform various neurological examinations to thoroughly assess your health. Which examination is chosen depends on your symptoms, medical history and any risk factors. We always work with a personalised approach, focusing on comfort and peace of mind.
Anamnesis
The doctor gathers information on complaints, medical history, current medication use and family burden. This history forms the basis for a targeted neurological examination.
Clinical research
The nervous system is examined using tests for muscle strength, reflexes, coordination and sensation. These findings make it possible to detect neurological abnormalities and make an accurate diagnosis.
Laboratory research
Through blood or urine tests, we chart parameters such as inflammatory levels, vitamins, thyroid function and immunological markers. This can help detect or rule out certain neurological causes.
EEG
This test measures the brain's electrical activity via electrodes on the skull. It is used in epilepsy, disorders of consciousness or sleep.
EMG
Small needles and mild electrical stimuli are used to measure the function of muscles and nerves. This examination helps detect causes of muscle weakness, tingling or radiating pain.
When do you need a consultation with the neurologist?
A neurological examination is advisable in cases of persistent or worrisome symptoms, such as:
Migraine and headaches - Regular or severe, possibly caused by tension headaches or migraines.Dizziness and balance problems - Complaints due to the balance organ or nervous system.Tingling and sensation disorders - In hands, feet or limbs, may indicate nerve damage or neuropathy.Memory and concentration problems - Possibly related to dementia or other cognitive disorders.Epilepsy and seizures - Sudden loss of consciousness, muscle jerks or uncontrolled movements.Movement disorders - Trembling, stiffness or unwanted movements as in Parkinson's disease.Problems sleeping - Chronic insomnia or restless legs with neurological cause.Multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases - Fatigue, muscle weakness and coordination problems.Brain attack or stroke - Sudden paralysis, speech problems or vision loss require prompt medical intervention.Chronic pain or neuropathy - Persistent pain or nerve damage requiring treatment.
Immediate intervention, effective treatment
Early detection makes treatment more effective. Regular follow-up is important, especially with risk factors such as heredity, high blood pressure, diabetes or prolonged stress. A neurological examination when symptoms persist or recur helps prevent complications and protect brain and nerve health.
How does a neurology consultation take place?
1. Intake & Anamnesis
During a neurological consultation, the doctor or nurse begins with an intake interview. You will be asked about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and any medication use. Symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory problems, tingling or muscle weakness are discussed to get a full picture of your neurological health.
2. Neurological examinations
Depending on your symptoms, targeted investigations will be carried out. This could be a neurological physical examination, an EEG, EMG or imaging such as an MRI. These tests provide insight into the functioning of your nervous system and help with early detection of conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis or neuropathy.
3. Results & Advice
The doctor will discuss the examination results with you and, if necessary, draw up a treatment plan. This may include medication, lifestyle advice or a referral for further follow-up. Your medical report is available within a few days via eHealth or CoZo, and we take the time to explain everything clearly and answer all your questions.
