What is Clinical Electrophysiology?

Clinical electrophysiology applies electrophysiological principles to medicine, focusing on the study and treatment of various physiological conditions. 

Techniques such as electrotherapy, electroencephalography (EEG), and electromyography (EMG) are used to diagnose and manage disorders related to the body's electrical activity, including cardiac arrhythmias, neuromuscular disorders, and pain management.
