Blood Tests
If your physician orders blood tests, a medical team member will draw your blood, usually through your arm, and send the blood sample to a laboratory for testing. Blood tests can be used to detect or rule out certain, but not all, neurological conditions. Your physician will determine if a blood test is the right type of test for your condition. Blood tests may be used to help diagnose or rule out:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease
- Alzheimer's disease
- Dementia
- Muscular dystrophy
- Neuropathy
- Dystonia
- Essential tremor
- Facial nerve disorders
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Concussions
- Myasthenia gravis
- Ataxia
- Tic disorders
- Wilson disease
