Video Summary
Video provides insight into nerve conduction and electromyography (EMG) tests in Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. These tests evaluate nerves and muscles for damage, aiding in treatment decisions. Patients must prepare by following specific instructions related to medication, bathing, and notifying about certain conditions. During the 30-60 minute test, a trained neurologist or physical medicine doctor conducts nerve conduction study with electrical shocks and needle EMG for muscle evaluation, tailored to individual symptoms. Results assist referring doctor in treatment planning. AANEM recommends trained specialists for EMG tests to ensure quality care for patients with muscle and nerve disorders.
