About Neuromuscular Pathology

Neuromuscular pathology is a specialized diagnostic procedure performed by a neurologist to evaluate disorders affecting the nerves that control voluntary muscles (motor neurons) and the muscles themselves. It involves a comprehensive assessment, often including a detailed clinical examination, nerve conduction studies (NCS), and electromyography (EMG). This procedure is crucial for diagnosing conditions like muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), myasthenia gravis, peripheral neuropathies, and inflammatory myopathies. By analyzing the electrical activity and response of nerves and muscles, it helps pinpoint the location, type, and severity of the neuromuscular dysfunction, guiding targeted treatment plans and management strategies for improved patient outcomes.

Key Highlights

    Provides precise localization of nerve or muscle dysfunction.Differentiates between neuropathic (nerve) and myopathic (muscle) disorders.Guides targeted treatment and management plans.Helps in monitoring disease progression or treatment response.Minimally invasive diagnostic approach.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Muscle weakness, atrophy, or persistent cramps.
  • Numbness, tingling, or pain in the limbs.
  • Suspected conditions like ALS, muscular dystrophy, or myasthenia gravis.

  • You may be asked to avoid caffeine for a few hours before the procedure.
  • No fasting is typically required for standard NCS/EMG.

Risks & possible complications

  • Mild discomfort or pain during needle insertion for EMG.
  • Temporary soreness, bruising, or swelling at the needle site.
  • Very low risk of infection or bleeding.
  • Rare nerve injury from needle insertion.
  • Lightheadedness during the procedure is uncommon.

Recovery & hospital stay
