A member asked:
Lip and chin partially numb, how a emg can know what nerve is injured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It cannot: However, there are trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential tests that can be done, and effectively look at the difference from one side to the other. Emg is often used as a term that is inclusive of this part of testing, as well.
