• Administration of Botox treatment under nerve conduction monitoring.
• Diagnostic and therapeutic spinal tap/lumbar puncture.
• Visual evoked potential studies to test the nerve connecting the eye to the brain and the visual center in the brain.
• Brainstem auditory evoked response studies to test the inner ear cochlea, the nerve connecting the ear to the brain, and the auditory centers in the brainstem and brain.
• Pain management through nerve suppression.
