A member asked:
Is there other kind of emg tests other than the standard emg to help diagnose neurological diseases and disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, some specialized approaches include single fiber EMG for myasthenia gravis, or Eaton-Lambert Syndrome. Some medical schools have experience in examining bladder and rectal nerve issues.

I had an EMG about a week ago due to ongoing neurological symptoms (pain, perceived weakness, spasticity). EMG came back clear, and I was told symptoms were likely related to hyperexcitability. Can EMG miss something serious like ALS?
