At Idika Neuro Clinic, we offer Repetitive Nerve Stimulation (RNS) testing to evaluate disorders affecting the communication between nerves and muscles. This advanced diagnostic procedure helps detect conditions that cause muscle weakness and fatigue due to problems at the neuromuscular junction.
Our experienced neurology team performs RNS testing using precise techniques and modern equipment to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Repetitive Nerve Stimulation (RNS) is a specialized electrodiagnostic test that measures how muscles respond to repeated electrical stimulation of a nerve. It helps assess whether the signal transmission between the nerve and muscle is functioning properly.
RNS is particularly useful in diagnosing disorders that affect neuromuscular transmission.
Your neurologist may recommend RNS testing if you experience:
RNS is a diagnostic test that measures how well nerves and muscles communicate by delivering repeated electrical pulses to a nerve and recording the muscle’s response. It helps detect disorders of the neuromuscular junction.
Your doctor may recommend RNS if you have:
Muscle weakness that worsens with activity
Drooping eyelids or double vision
Difficulty swallowing or speaking
Rapid muscle fatigue
RNS is especially helpful in diagnosing Myasthenia Gravis and other neuromuscular junction disorders.
Most patients experience only mild, brief discomfort from the electrical stimulation. The test is generally well tolerated.
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of muscles being tested.
Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams on your skin.
Inform your doctor about all medications, particularly those for muscle weakness or myasthenia gravis.
Follow any instructions given by your neurologist.
If you are experiencing unexplained muscle weakness or rapid fatigue, contact Idika Neuro Clinic to schedule your Repetitive Nerve Stimulation test and receive expert neurological evaluation.
