The NCV/EMG is an electrophysiologic exam that can give results or patterns that are sometimes nonspecific or seen in a multitude of clinical conditions. Therefore the referring physicians whom has treated the patient over a period of time and has hopefully examined the patient many times and may know best which condition the NCV/EMG pattern discussed in the report best corresponds with, in his/her patient.

What diseases does an emg rule out if it is normal?
An EMG performed with NCS evaluates for mononeuopathy (problem with one nerve), polyneuropathy (problem with many nerves), radiculopathy (problem with a nerve root), neuromuscular junction disease (problem with the connection between nerves and muscles), and myopathy (a muscle disease). If an EMG/NCS is performed correctly & it is negative (or normal), it can generally rule out those types of problems.
Why nerves is important?

Do you have to both a NCV and an EMG?
If you have been referred to have an electrodiagnostic examination, that examination will normally involve both a nerve conduction study (NCS) & a needle EMG (nEMG). NCV is sometimes inappropriately used instead of NCS. Both parts of the examination (NCS & nEMG) are equally important in looking at different aspects of nerve and muscle function, and both should be performed. However, in some cases the clinician may determine that NCS or nEMG is contraindicated for some medical reason and may elect not to perform that part of the electrodiagnostic examination.
You think one call-workers comp people paid emg ncv medical doctor to give an inaccurate test result How would you prove that Are there medical doctors that would actually release false test results?
You can't really prove it, but you can have their test results disputed. If you have another independent test performed (you'd have to pay for it or get a lawyer to deal with it), and those test results dispute the others, you could then establish a legal challenge to their data.Your best option is probably to get an independent analysis done, then if it disputes the other report, get a lawyer to sort it out. You should ALWAYS have a Lawyer when dealing with Comp issues or you will get screwed - period.I am a physician who has previously contracted with One Call Medical. They never influence the results. One Call Medical makes the same amount of money no matter how the results turn out for you, they are a broker, they simply connect your employer's work comp carrier with doctors who perform EMG/NCS. However, there are other factors that could influence your results. One Call Medical pays less for their EMG/NCS than if the insurer contacted the testing physician directly. One Call Medical also typically does not pay for more elaborate testing and will pay the bare minimum number of tests. THose of us who are well trained in EMG/NCS often drop One Call Medical because they pay so poorly and will not pay for more elaborate EMG/NCS unless you write letters of need with long explanations. Sooooo, typically in the area I practice, the hungriest physicians, or the physicians that feel comfortable spending THE LEAST TIME performing the test are the ones that stick with One Call Medical. If you really want to know if your EMG/NCS was inaccurate, forget the test performed by One Call Medical and pay for your own test with a skilled and experienced examiner who is board certified to perform EMG/NCS testing specifically (there is a board certification for this test). Being board certified in neurology does not guarantee you are highly skilled at EMG/NCS. Also consider seeing a physiatrist, often these doctors conduct more detailed EMG/NCS.
What is the cost of a leg EMG?
Electrodiagnostic testing that includes NCS & EMG can be very expensive, with prices ranging from $800-$2500. This type of testing can be very sensitive and useful to determining if there is a problem with a nerve, and if there is a problem, it can determine how bad that problem is.
What is the the gold standard is a Nerve conduction study with an Electromyography study?
The gold standard means it is the test or tests that all other tests are compared to. It is what is prefered or the "best test". Getting both a NCS and EMG for diagnosing CTS is the gold standard.
