Professor of Neurology
& Clinical Neurophysiology,
Dr. George Amoiridis
 
provides in his office complete clinical examination and treatments for the full spectrum of neurological diseases, and a plurality of neurophysiological examinations.
Polyneuropathy
Polyneuropathy represents a condition of extensive involvement
of peripheral nerves by various causes. About 3% of the population over 55 years will be affected by a polyneuropathy.
Διερεύνηση και Θεραπεία Πολυνευροπαθειών Νευρολογικό Ιατρείο, Ηλεκτρομυογράφημα & Προκλητά Δυναμικά, Δρ. Αμοιρίδη Γεώργιου
Great is the contribution of nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) in the differential diagnosis
of polyneuropathies. 
Symptoms of polyneuropathies:
  • Numbness and pain (usually "burning") of feet and legs, particularly at rest and at night.
  • Reduced muscle strength particularly of limbs and especially the legs.
  • Sweating disorders (increased or decreased sweating of soles and palms).
  • Restless legs.
  • Reduced or eliminated tendon reflexes.
Μυοπάθειες και Μυασθενικά σύνδρομα Νευρολογικό Ιατρείο Δρ. Αμοιρίδη Γεώργιο, Καθηγητή Νευρολογίας & Κλινικής Νευροφυσιολογίας
Myopathies and Myasthenic syndromes
 
  • Absence of skin sensory disturbances.
  • Delayed relaxation of a contracted muscle (myotonia)Deterioration of the weakness during the day (myasthenia gravis).
  • Improving muscle strength immediately after exercise (myasthenic Lambert-Eaton syndrome).
  • Sometimes muscle pseudo-hypertrophy (legs).
  • Muscle pain (in myositis and metabolic myopathies).
Symptoms:
 
  • Muscle weakness.
  • Muscle atrophy, usually in the proximal parts of the limbs
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
CTS is a very common condition
(up to 2.7% of the population).
 
Confirmation of its diagnosis is done by
nerve conduction studies and sometimes by electromyography.
CTS symptoms:
 
  • Numbness, tingling and pain of fingers and hand, sometimes extended to the arm and shoulder, especially at night.
  • Worsening of symptoms with manual work.
  • Subjective hand swelling and stiffness.
  • Clumsiness when grasping objects, often dropping things off hands.
  • Thumb atrophy.

Άνοια - Νόσος Alzheimer Νευρολογικό Ιατρείο, Ηλεκτρομυογράφημα & Προκλητά Δυναμικά, Δρ. Αμοιρίδη Γεώργιου
Symptoms:
 
  • Memory disorder, originally concerning
      recent events.
  • Attention difficulty.
  • Disordered orientation at a place and time (eg can be lost on familiar environment or does not know the present day, month and year).
  • Difficulty in simple arithmetic calculations.
  • Behavioral disorders, eg aggression or apathy.
  • Failure to recognize familiar persons.
Dementia - Alzheimer's Disease 

In our neurophysiological laboratory we perform many specialized neurophysiological tests such as:

 

 

  • Nerve conduction studies as well as F wave and Hoffman reflex studies.

  • Electromyography.

  • Nuromuscular junction function studies (presynaptic Lambert-Eaton, postsynaptic Desmedt).

  • Blink reflex to investigate trigeminal and facial nerve, as well as brain stem, function.

  • Visual evoked potentials (VEP, potentials of the occipital lobe) to test the function of the optic nerve.

  • Brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) for auditory nerve and brain stem function testing.

  • Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) to investigate peripheral and central sensory pathways.

  • Entrapment neuropathies.
  • Traumatic peripheral nerve lesions.
  • Large and small fiber neuropathies.
  • Radiculopathies.
  • Disorders of neuromuscular junction.
  • Myopathies.
  • Unclear motor or sensory function deficit.
