​​​Electromyography/Nerve Conduction Studies (EMG/NCS) for Nerve and Muscle Function  

---

​Electromyography (EMG)/Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) checks the integrity of the peripheral nerves and muscle function.  Electromyography helps determine if there are any abnormalities in the muscle or the nerves going to it.  Nerve conduction studies (NCS) test shows how well signals travel along a nerve and can help find the cause of abnormal nerve function. 

The examination is essential for evaluating symptoms of numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, fatigue, exercise intolerance and muscle cramping.  

A trained technologist or a qualified doctor performs NCS test.  A doctor who has had special training examines the recording.
