Dr Francesco Manfredonia at New Cross Hospital
New Cross Hospital provides Dr Francesco Manfredonia's Wolverhampton clinic location for specialist neurological assessment and care.
Dr Manfredonia is a Consultant Neurologist and Neurophysiologist with a particular clinical interest in epilepsy, seizures and neurophysiology, alongside experience across a wide range of adult neurological conditions.
A neurological consultation begins by considering the whole clinical picture: the nature and timing of symptoms, relevant medical history, examination findings and any investigations or treatment already undertaken.
Where appropriate, this may include consideration of specialist neurophysiology investigations such as EEG, nerve conduction studies or EMG.
Patients can also explore Dr Manfredonia's wider general neurology practice and information about specific neurological conditions before attending.
Specialist neurological assessment in Wolverhampton
Dr Manfredonia's work combines clinical neurology with specialist expertise in neurophysiology, allowing symptoms, examination findings and diagnostic investigations to be considered together where appropriate.
General neurological assessment
Specialist assessment of neurological symptoms, diagnostic questions, second opinions and appropriate adult neurological conditions.
General neurologySeizures and epilepsy
Consultant neurological assessment of seizures, epilepsy, episodic loss of awareness and other paroxysmal neurological events.
Epilepsy and seizuresNeurophysiology and diagnostic testing
Specialist interpretation of neurological investigations where clinically appropriate, including EEG, EMG and nerve conduction studies.
NeurophysiologySpecialist assessment for neurological symptoms
Neurological symptoms can be difficult to interpret in isolation. Similar symptoms may arise from several different conditions, while some neurological disorders can present in quite different ways from one person to another.
The role of the consultation is therefore not simply to match a symptom to a diagnosis, but to build a detailed clinical picture and decide which investigations, if any, are likely to be useful.
Neurology supported by specialist neurophysiology expertise
Neurophysiology can provide additional information about how the brain, nerves and muscles are functioning. Investigations are most useful when selected to answer a specific clinical question.
Electroencephalography
EEG records electrical activity from the brain and may contribute to the assessment of suspected epilepsy, seizures and selected episodic neurological symptoms.
EEG informationNerve conduction studies
Nerve conduction studies assess how signals travel through peripheral nerves and may help investigate numbness, tingling, weakness and suspected nerve disorders.
NCS informationElectromyography
Needle EMG evaluates electrical activity within muscles and can support investigation of selected nerve root, peripheral nerve, muscle and neuromuscular disorders.
EMG informationConditions and symptoms Dr Manfredonia assesses
