Electroencephalography (EEG), Electromyography (EMG) and Neurophysiology in Clinical Practice 2016

Phoenix, AZ US

February 28, 2016 to March 4, 2016

Mayo Clinic Course Directors: Joseph Drazkowski, M.D. and Benn Smith, M.D.

This course is designed as a review of techniques and topics pertaining to clinical neurophysiology. It includes basic physiology, pathophysiology, electroencephalography, evoked potentials, electromyography, movement disorders and intraoperative monitoring. There is a focus on clinical correlation of various neurophysiological tests used for the evaluation of patients with epilepsy, sleep disorders, movement disorders, peripheral nerve and neuromuscular disorders. Presenters include Mayo Clinic staff members and faculty of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine from the Departments of Neurology in Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., and Scottsdale, Ariz.

Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Interpret the findings and clinical significance of abnormalities on EEG studies.
Evaluate reading skills of routine EEG recognizing potentially confounding normal variants, artifacts and normal waveforms versus epileptiform activity.
Recognize and interpret the significance of EMG waveforms on needle EMG.
Develop a logical approach for the use of standard clinical electrophysiological techniques in the evaluation of common and uncommon neuromuscular disorders.
Develop an approach to the EMU.
Identify common treatments using Botulinumtoxin in Neurophysiology.
