Nerve Conduction Study/Needle EMG Test An electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test help evaluate and treat problems related to your nerves or muscles. What does EMG mean? EMG simply means measuring the electrical activity of the muscles. Normal muscles give off a certain size, shape and sound of electrical signal. Muscles that have a damaged nerve simply give off very different electrical signals. Therefore, analyzing the abnormal electrical signals in your muscles will help your doctor locate the specific site, nature and extent of nerve damage, if any. What problems are diagnosed by EMG? Essentially, EMG is used to diagnose any problem relating to nerves in the spine, arms or legs. These conditions usually cause pain, numbness, tingling or muscle weakness in part of the body. Examples of some of these conditions include: Pinched nerves in the neck or back, from disc problems or arthritis. Compressed nerves in the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome, at the elbow, knee or other areas) Neuropathies, such as numbness in the hands and feet, due to diabetes. How is an EMG done? While you are lying in a comfortable position on the table, a tiny needle is inserted into your affected muscle. Electrical signals are recorded at rest and as you slightly flex the muscle. A series of different muscles will be tested. What is the NCV test? NCV testing is almost always done along with the EMG exam. In fact, when doctors say EMG it is short for EMG and NCV testing together. This test evaluates nerves by measuring how fast the electrical impulse travels through them. Certain nerve diseases cause electrical signals to be transmitted more slowly than normal. Again, this test helps your doctor determine the site, nature and extent of any nerve damage. How is the NCV test done? While you are resting on the table, several small recording wires will be attached to your hand or foot. A small electric stimulator will be placed on your skin close to the wires, and an electrical impulse will be given. The signal, after traveling down the nerve, is recorded by the electrode wires and printed on a graph. The small shock may tingle or make your muscles twitch momentarily, but this is not harmful.
