• Continue your medication unless instructed otherwise.
• Avoid caffeine for several hours before the test.
• Eat normally unless advised otherwise.
• Follow sleep deprivation instructions if required.
• Bring a list of current medications and medical history.

NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies)

Measures nerve signal speed and strength. Essential for diagnosing neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and nerve injuries.

⚡ Preparing for NCS

• Bathe or shower before your appointment to remove skin oils.
• Avoid lotions, creams, or oils on the day of the test.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
• Inform clinician about pacemakers, bleeding disorders, or blood thinners.

EMG (Electromyography)

Assesses muscle and nerve health. Used for muscle disorders, radiculopathy, and motor neuron diseases.

💪 Preparing for EMG

• Avoid lotions, creams, or oils on the day of the test.
• Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to muscles.
• Inform clinician about blood thinners or bleeding disorders.
• Notify clinician about pacemakers or implanted devices.

Polysomnography (Sleep Study)

Overnight monitoring of sleep, breathing, brain waves, and oxygen levels.

🌙 Preparing for Polysomnography

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of the study.
• Wash your hair and avoid hair products.
• Do not apply heavy moisturizers or oils.
• Maintain your usual sleep routine.

MSLT (Multiple Sleep Latency Test)

Daytime nap study to measure how quickly you fall asleep. Primary test for narcolepsy.

• An overnight sleep study is usually performed before the MSLT.
• Avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol or excessive sugar.
• Wash your hair and avoid hair products.
• Bring activities for downtime between naps.

CPAP Titration

Determines optimal pressure settings for effective CPAP therapy.
