Tests performed by the EMG Institute
- Routine electromyography, composed of several EMG tests: The muscle test, conducted by inserting a needle electrode into the muscle, measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle; Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test and nerve conduction study (NCS) using electrical nerve stimulation that help physicians diagnose problems in the peripheral nerve system.
- Diagnosis of facial nerve problems using electroneuronography (ENoG) and the blink reflex
- Test of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) to diagnose spinal cord sensor injuries
- Bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) and pudendal nerve conduction (PNC) tests to diagnose erectile dysfunction
- Intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring during peripheral nerve or brachial plexus surgery
Payment for testing
