Neurocognitive Testing
Neurocognitive testing is a detailed assessment designed to measure how well different areas of your brain are functioning. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, this specialized evaluation looks at memory, attention, language, processing speed, and problem-solving skills to give a comprehensive view of brain health.
Why It Matters
This testing is often used to detect subtle cognitive changes that may not be obvious during a routine exam. By identifying patterns early, our team can support timely diagnosis of conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), post-concussion symptoms, or brain injury. Neurocognitive testing also helps distinguish between normal age-related changes and signs of neurological disorders.
When Testing May Be Recommended
Your provider may suggest neurocognitive testing if you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms such as forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, or changes in decision-making. Beyond diagnosis, these evaluations are valuable for monitoring changes over time, guiding care plans, and helping determine readiness for work, school, or daily activities.
How it Works
Unlike basic memory screenings, neurocognitive testing provides a deeper look into multiple cognitive domains. Results are reviewed alongside imaging studies and neurological exams, giving providers a well-rounded understanding of brain function. This information allows for more accurate diagnoses and personalized recommendations for ongoing care.
Supporting Your Care Journey
Neurocognitive testing isn’t just about identifying problems—it’s also about tracking progress and helping patients understand their brain health at every stage. Whether your concerns are new or ongoing, our specialists work with you to explain results clearly and develop next steps tailored to your needs.
