If you’re struggling with unexplained muscle weakness, persistent pain, or nerve discomfort, it’s time to get a closer look at your nerve and muscle function. At Curis Life – A Multispeciality Clinic in Andheri West, we offer comprehensive Electromyography (EMG) testing conducted by expert neurologists. Using the latest technology, our EMG scan assesses muscle and nerve responses to diagnose various neuromuscular conditions with precision.
What is an Electromyography (EMG) Test?
The Electromyography (EMG) test is a diagnostic procedure that records the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. It helps detect nerve dysfunction, muscle disorders, and problems with the transmission of signals from nerve to muscle.
An EMG study typically includes a nerve conduction test (NCS), which evaluates how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. Together, these tests assess the health of your muscles and nerves.
Symptoms That May Require an EMG Scan
Your neurologist may recommend an EMG scan if you are experiencing:
- Muscle weakness or numbness
- Tingling or burning sensation
- Muscle pain or cramping
- Muscle twitching
- Unexplained back pain or leg discomfort
- Decreased muscle function
- Difficulty gripping or lifting
Conditions Diagnosed by EMG Test
EMG is a key diagnostic tool for conditions such as:
- Peripheral nerve disorders (like neuropathy)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sciatica and lumbar nerve issues
- Motor neuron disease (such as ALS)
- Muscular dystrophy
- Radiculopathy
- Back or neck pain with suspected nerve root compression
Common Causes for EMG Testing
Electromyography may be advised in the following situations:
- Nerve injuries from trauma or repetitive strain
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Autoimmune nerve disorders
- Age-related muscle degeneration
- Suspected nerve entrapments
How is the EMG Test Performed?
EMG Test Preparation
- Avoid lotions or creams on the day of the test
- Inform your neurologist about medications, especially blood thinners
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing
During the Test
The procedure includes two parts:
- Nerve Conduction Study (NCS):
- Electrodes are placed on the skin.
- Small electrical pulses are delivered to measure nerve response.
- Needle Electrode EMG:
- A thin needle electrode is inserted into selected muscles.
- Muscle activity is recorded while the muscle is at rest and during slight contractions.
The test typically takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the complexity.
What Happens After the EMG?
You may feel mild soreness after the needle electrodes are removed, but this usually fades quickly. Results are interpreted by an expert neurologist and shared within 24–48 hours. A follow-up consultation is scheduled to discuss your diagnosis and next steps.
