Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. This helps us identify nerve damage or compression.

Next is the electromyography test. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This shows us how well your muscles respond to nerve signals and whether there’s any muscle damage.

Both tests typically take 30-60 minutes total. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition. We’ll discuss treatment options and next steps based on your specific findings.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses on your skin – similar to static electricity shocks. Most people find it mildly uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels like small pinpricks. The needles are much thinner than those used for blood draws. While you might feel some discomfort, most patients tolerate the testing well. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve compression syndromes, and spinal nerve problems. The testing can also identify the location and severity of nerve damage, whether problems are in the nerves themselves or the muscles they control, and help distinguish between different types of neurological conditions that might cause similar symptoms.

How should I prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your nerve or muscle problems. You can eat normally before the test and continue your regular activities afterward.

How long does it take to get results?

You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what the tests show and what it means for your condition. You’ll leave the appointment knowing whether you have a nerve or muscle disorder, how severe it is, and what treatment options are available. We also provide a detailed written report that you can share with other healthcare providers. This immediate feedback is one of the key advantages of nerve and muscle testing – no waiting weeks for answers.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle problems. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for neurological conditions, similar to X-rays or blood tests. Our staff will help you understand your specific coverage and any out-of-pocket costs before you receive testing. We also offer payment options for patients without insurance coverage.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we identify the cause of your symptoms, we’ll discuss treatment options specific to your condition. This might include physical therapy, medications, lifestyle modifications, or other interventions depending on what we find. For some conditions like mild carpal tunnel syndrome, conservative treatments work well. More severe nerve damage might require different approaches. We’ll coordinate with your other healthcare providers and can refer you to specialists if needed. The goal is to create a treatment plan that addresses your specific diagnosis and helps improve your symptoms.
