Top 3 Neurophysiology Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need neurophysiology testing?

Neurophysiology tests record how the nervous system works. An EEG (electroencephalogram) records the brain's electrical activity and is often used when a neurologist assesses seizures, epilepsy or some memory and awareness problems. EMG (electromyography) and nerve conduction studies assess nerves and muscles, and are usually considered for numbness, weakness or pain that follows a nerve or muscle pattern. Not everyone needs these tests. A neurologist decides after taking your history and examining you.

Consider booking a visit if you have:

• A headache that has changed pattern, becomes persistent, or keeps returning
• Numbness, tingling or weakness in an arm or leg
• A seizure, or an episode of staring or unexplained loss of awareness
• Unsteady balance or repeated dizziness without a clear cause
• Repeated memory lapses that affect daily life

Some symptoms need emergency care now, not a clinic appointment. Call 911 in Jordan if you have a sudden, severe headache unlike any you have had before; face drooping, arm or leg weakness, or slurred speech, which can be signs of stroke; a seizure lasting more than five minutes or seizures that follow one another without recovery in between; loss of consciousness; sudden loss of vision; or confusion after a head injury.

How to choose among the clinics here

When you look for the best neurophysiology clinics in Amman, start with your reason for the visit rather than the order on the page. The list is sorted by profile completeness, so a higher position only means the profile publishes more checkable information. It says nothing about the quality of care.

Useful criteria for comparing the three clinics listed here:

• Services that match your need. EEG and EMG appear on more than one profile, while injection treatments such as botulinum toxin are listed only on the Shmeisani clinic. Match the listed services to what your doctor has asked for.
• Location and access. The clinics are in Abdali, Shmeisani and Jabal Amman. Choose the one that is easiest to reach at your appointment time.
• Published opening hours. Hours differ by day, and one clinic closes earlier on Thursday. Confirm the day you plan to attend.
• Insurance. Arab Orient Insurance is listed on the first two profiles. Confirm your own insurer with the clinic before booking.
• Continuity of care. If you have an ongoing condition such as epilepsy or migraine, ask how follow-up visits are arranged and who will review your results.

Each profile lists one doctor, so ask who will see you and whether a different neurologist might be available.

What to expect at the first visit

A first neurology visit usually starts with a detailed history. The doctor will ask when symptoms began, how often they happen, what makes them better or worse, and whether any family members have similar problems. This is followed by a neurological examination that checks strength, sensation, reflexes, coordination and eye movement.

To make the visit more productive, prepare:

• A written symptom diary with dates, duration and triggers
• Any previous EEG, EMG, scan or blood test reports
• A full list of medicines and supplements you take, including doses as you actually take them
• Your identity card and insurance card if you plan to use insurance
• Questions written in advance, such as which test is needed, why, how results will be shared, and when to come back

Ask whether a test can be done at the same visit or needs a separate appointment. Bring a companion if your symptoms include memory problems or seizures, since they can help describe what happened.

Insurance, fees and booking

Before you book, ask each clinic these questions directly:

• Which insurers are accepted, and whether pre-approval is needed for tests such as EEG or EMG
• What the consultation fee covers and whether any test is billed separately
• Whether the appointment is with the listed doctor or another clinician
• How results are shared and how to arrange follow-up
• How far in advance you should book, and what to do if you need to cancel

Arab Orient Insurance is the insurer listed for the first two clinics. Check with your own insurer as well, because coverage depends on your policy. ClinicsJo does not set fees for these clinics, so ask for the current figures at the time of booking.

Getting there

The three clinics are in Abdali, Shmeisani and Jabal Amman. Shmeisani is one of the central Amman districts, and it is practical to give your driver the district name together with the building details from the clinic's profile. Traffic in central Amman can be heavy at peak hours, so allow extra time, especially for a visit that includes testing. If you are travelling with someone who has limited mobility, call the clinic ahead to ask about access.
