| | Electromyography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Electromyography (EMG) is a medical technique for measuring muscle response to nervous stimulation. | | | Electromyography training is a kind of biofeedback in which patients learn to control muscle tension in the face, neck, and shoulders. | | | For example, such training is sometimes given to migraine patients. |

| | Needle electromyography testing involves insertion of needle electrodes into skeletal muscles and concurrent observation of the electrical activity in those muscles by means of an oscilloscope and a loudspeaker. | | | Electromyography is an extension of the history and physical examination and must be considered only in the light of the clinical finding. | | | For example, in assessing a patient with a possible lumbosacral radiculopathy the needle electromyograph consists of examining muscles of the back, pelvic girdle, and lower extremity innervated by the various lumbar and sacral nerve roots; but the specific parameters of the procedure vary greatly from patient to patient. |

| | By inserting fine needles into your muscles and measuring the electrical impulses, electromyography enables doctors to measure the activity of various muscles - and it therefore helps them to decide which nerves have been damaged. | | | (When a nerve has been damaged the muscles normally associated with that nerve will be less active than usual.) Electromyography takes about half an hour and is fairly painless and free of side effects. | | | Hi, I am a 27 year old female that had no back pain prior to my pregnancy. |
