How is the condition diagnosed?
The healthcare provider will ask about medical history and perform a physical exam. This should include how muscles and nerves respond. Further testing may be needed depending on the suspected cause.
Blood tests are commonly done. Special x-rays, such as a cranial CT, may be performed. In some cases, a sample of spinal fluid is obtained with a spinal tap. Other tests may be needed in some cases.
