These studies in combination with the physical examination assist in diagnosing a multitude of nerve and muscle disorders, including entrapment neuropathies, brachial and lumbosacral plexopathies, radiculopathies, polyneuropathies, myopathies, etc.

Frequently seen in primary practice symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome get a diagnosis and treatment plan, including surgical consideration, with nerve conduction studies and electromyography. Nerve root compression level is confirmed on EMG what is of particular importance when surgery is a consideration
