Global Perceptions and Utilization of Clinical Neurophysiology in Movement Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical neurophysiology (CNP) involves the use of neurophysiological techniques to make an accurate clinical diagnosis, to quantify the severity, and to measure the treatment response. Despite several studies showing CNP to be a useful diagnostic tool in Movement Disorders (MD), its more widespread utilization in clinical practice has been limited.

Objectives

To better understand the current availability, global perceptions, and challenges for implementation of diagnostic CNP in the clinical practice of MD.

Methods

The International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society (IPMDS) formed a Task Force on CNP. The Task Force distributed an online survey via email to all the members of the IPMDS between August 5 and 30, 2021. Descriptive statistics were used
