ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC STUDIES

These examinations are performed in our office and can be helpful in evaluating the causes of numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, fatigue, and muscle cramping. The two tests that we do to study nerve and muscle function are nerve conduction studies (NCSs) and needle electromyography (EMG).

The examinations usually take 20 to 60 minutes. There are no restrictions on activity before or after the testing and there are no lasting after effects.
