Neurofeedback Vertigo Management Patient Preparation Guide ## Instructions Before Your Neurodiagnostic Appointment To ensure maximum diagnostic precision and eliminate the need for repeat testing, please follow these clinical guidelines prior to your visit: Procedure / Diagnostic Test Required Preparation Prior to Visit Medications & Special Precautions **EMG / NCV (Electromyography)** Wash arms and legs thoroughly with soap and water on the appointment day. Do not apply any moisturizers, oils, lotions, or creams to the skin. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be rolled above the elbows and knees. Notify the clinic if you are on blood thinners (e.g., Warfarin, Plavix, Aspirin) or have an implanted cardiac pacemaker. **Digital EEG & QEEG Brain Mapping** Wash hair thoroughly with shampoo the evening before and dry completely. Do not use gels, oils, sprays, conditioners, or pomades. Do not arrive fasting; have a light meal prior to testing to avoid hypoglycemia. Avoid coffee, black/green tea, energy drinks, and stimulant beverages for 8 hours prior. Do NOT stop prescribed antiepileptic drugs without explicit physician orders. **Migraine Botox & Nerve Blocks** Ensure the forehead and scalp areas are clean and free of cosmetic makeup or topical treatments. Have a regular meal before coming to the clinic. Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like Ibuprofen/Aspirin) for 48 hours before injection if permissible, to minimize localized bruising. Frequently Asked Questions ## Answers to Common International Patient Inquiries Can clinical evaluations and neurodiagnostic tests (EMG/EEG) be done in a single day for visitors? Yes, absolutely. To accommodate the schedule of international visitors and travelers coming to Mashhad, our clinic coordinates advance appointments via WhatsApp so that the consultation, necessary electrodiagnostic studies (EMG or EEG), official report, and personalized treatment plan are delivered in the same session. Is the EMG / NCV (Nerve and Muscle) test painful or associated with risks? The examination is safe and well tolerated. It consists of two stages: nerve conduction study using gentle, superficial electrical pulses, and electromyography using sterile, single-use micro-needles to assess muscle fibers. Patients typically report mild, transient tingling or tapping sensations. How soon can I expect clinical improvement following therapeutic Botox for migraine? Noticeable reduction in migraine frequency and severity usually begins within 10 to 14 days post-procedure, reaching peak clinical efficacy around 4 weeks. Therapeutic benefit typically persists for 3 to 6 months before repeating the cycle. What medical documents and previous investigations should I bring to the consultation? Please bring all prior brain/spine MRI scans and CT imaging (CDs or high-quality films), recent blood test reports, and an accurate list or photos of all medications and supplements you currently take. ## Schedule Your Appointment with Dr. Ghazaleh Saffarian Tousi For advance booking, scheduling inquiries, or sharing preliminary medical reports, connect directly with our clinic coordination team in Mashhad.
