Its very similar to having a chest ECG if you know what that is like? Its leads on sticky pads on the chest and the finger monitor. gets upset by the sticky pads coming off and by having to stop talking (he talks incessantly) and by having to keep still. But it is not painful at all and not frightening. I think Dr Goyal is trying to assess how irritable the brain is, will be having his third in 6 months during half term as he wants to see if removing strep has helped.>> > > > > That would be the Full Autonomic Test, full version and expensive.
