Clinical Electromyography/Evidence
Method evidence record

Clinical Electromyography

Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are electrodiagnostic tests measuring electrical activity in muscles and nerves, providing objective data on neuromuscular function. These tests identify pathology in motor neurons, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junctions, and muscles, helping clinicians diagnose conditions like peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, radiculopathy, and motor neuron disease when clinical examination is inconclusive.
