Parts of the test (the nerve conductions) may be performed by a specially trained technician. It is an in-office procedure and does not require hospitalization. On average, an EMG takes anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on how extensive a testing your doctor orders on you.
An EMG assess the electrical activity of a nerve root and is sometimes recommended for patients with back pain. After three weeks of pressure on a nerve root, the muscle the nerve goes to will begin to spontaneously contract. Compression of a nerve will also slow electrical conduction along that nerve. EMGâs are also sometimes useful to distinguish nerve degeneration (neuropathy) from nerve root compression (radiculopathy). The test involves placing small needles into the muscles, so there is some discomfort for the patient.
