A member asked:
What to do if i have to have a nerve conduction test on my upper limbs in hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No preparation need: Your test will be done with mild electrical shocks, and recordings of the stimulation results. An EMG part will use small needles, and the greatest risk might be a small bruise. If done thoroughly and fully, answers for location and severity of nerve problem will be uncovered.
