A member asked:
Is it possible/likely for someone with benign fasciculation syndrome to have normal/negative emg results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: A person with benign fasciculation syndrome would have a normal EMG, whereas someone with ALS would have signs of generalized denervation on EMG.
