Our Approach to Life-Changing Neurological Care

Children with neurological conditions often require comprehensive care and services as they grow. Boys Town Pediatric Neuroscience clinics offer a variety of specialized equipment and treatment options to meet the unique needs of your growing child.​​

  • The Boys Town Epilepsy Monitoring Unit is a specially designed inpatient unit that focuses on advanced diagnostic evaluation with EEG. Hospital stays are typically three to five days.

    Learn more about the EMU.
  • Electromyographic (EMG) testing and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing work hand-in-hand to give patients the most accurate diagnosis for neuromuscular conditions. The tests are low-risk but high-reward and require a high level of training to be done effectively. Led by a neurologist who is fellowship-trained in neuromuscular care, Boys Town Pediatric Muscle and Weakness Clinic has the capability to provide these tests.
