Electromyography (ENMG): Does It Hurt? Understand Everything Here!

If your doctor ordered an electroneuromyography (ENMG), you might be worried: does this test hurt? Let’s clear things up! 💡 What is ENMG? It’s a test that evaluates how nerves and muscles are working. It measures the speed of nerve impulses and the muscle response, helping to diagnose injuries or diseases of the peripheral nerves. ⚠️ How is the test done? ✅ First part: mild electrical stimuli are applied to the skin to measure nerve conduction. ✅ Second part: a fine needle is inserted into certain muscles to record their electrical activity. 👉 But does it hurt? ✔️ The electrical part only causes quick, mild shocks — uncomfortable, but tolerable. ✔️ The needle part may cause mild to moderate pain, similar to an injection, varying from person to person. ✔️ The test is usually quick, lasting about 30 to 60 minutes. 💡 Practical tip: The discomfort is temporary, and the test is crucial to identify the cause of symptoms such as tingling, numbness, shocks, muscle weakness, or neuropathic pain.
