| EMG Studies |
|
| During an EMG study, a small, thin pin
is inserted into a muscle to record the
level of electrical activity. A normal
muscle at rest is electrically silent. You
will be asked to slightly tense your
muscle to record the change in
electrical activity. You will able to
hear this electrical signal and how
the level of activity changes during
the test. This process will be repeated
at several muscle locations during
the study. |
| |
|
| As the pins are inserted, you may feel
some minor pain and discomfort.
When they are removed, you may
also experience some soreness and
bruising, but this will disappear within
a few days. There are no long-term
side effects. |
