What is Electromyography (EMG)?

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. It helps determine whether symptoms are caused by muscle disorders, nerve disorders, or problems in the connection between nerves and muscles.

EMG is often performed along with a Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) for a complete neuromuscular evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an EMG test?

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of muscles. It helps determine whether muscle weakness or pain is caused by a muscle disorder or a nerve problem.

Your doctor may recommend an EMG if you experience muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, twitching, or suspected nerve compression such as sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome.

EMG involves inserting a very thin needle electrode into the muscle. You may feel mild discomfort during insertion, but most patients tolerate the procedure well.

The test usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many muscles need to be examined.

  • Avoid applying lotions or oils on your skin before the test.

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

  • Inform your doctor if you are taking blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder.
