The response from your nerve is recorded by an EMG machine. By testing a number of nerves, a generalized assessment of your peripheral nerves and muscles can be made. In the nerve conduction studies (NCS), various nerves, usually in the arm or leg, will be stimulated with a small, harmless electrical pulse. There are 2 parts to the test, nerve conduction testing, and an optional needle exam (see below). What exactly is an EMG Test? Will there be needles? Does it hurt? Do I have to fast? How do I prepare for the test? Do I need to stop taking my medication? What should I wear? How long will it take? How long will I have to wait? What are they testing for? When will I find out about the test results? Is it an ultrasound? Can I drive afterwards? Can my spouse/child/relative come in to the exam room with me? How do I get to University Hospital? Where is the EMG Lab in the hospital? Where do I park and how much does it cost? What exactly is an EMG Test?Īn EMG test is a detailed investigation of the health of your peripheral nervous system (basically, this means all of the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord).
