Clinical neurophysiologic testing is a vital component in the comprehensive evaluation of patients presenting with a range of neurologic symptoms. A multitude of techniques and methods are available to assess the functioning of the nervous system, encompassing electroencephalography, electromyography, evoked potentials, movement disorder studies, and sleep studies. Accurate knowledge of these tests' roles, along with proficiency in technical execution and interpretation of these studies, is paramount in clinical practice. This fifth edition of the Contemporary Neurology Series remains an indispensable resource for physicians and technologists seeking to learn or apply clinical neurophysiology in their training or practice.

In this edition, the fundamental concepts underlying each clinical neurophysiology technique are updated, providing comprehensive descriptions of the methods, findings, studies, and value of the diverse electrophysiologic testing options available for patients with epilepsy and spells, neuromuscular diseases, movement disorders, demyelinating diseases, sleep disorders, autonomic disorders, and those undergoing orthopaedic and neurosurgical procedures in the operative setting. The text meticulously details the role of each type of study, the interpretation of findings, and the application of these studies to various clinical problems. It serves as a practical textbook for neurologists, physiatrists, and clinical neurophysiologists engaged in clinical or research practice, as well as in training.

By incorporating this comprehensive resource, healthcare professionals can enhance their understanding of clinical neurophysiology and effectively utilize these testing modalities to provide optimal care for their patients.
