What are the benefits of having an EMG test?
The EMG test is used to assess the body's nervous system and make sure it is functioning properly. There is no waiting for the results to come in, as soon as the test is over, the doctor will have the results. A detailed report is sent to the attending doctor right away. This makes figuring out what is wrong a lot simpler and fast.

During an EMG test, a fine needle is inserted into the muscle to be tested

Yes,you can but you shouldnt because pain killers will effect the nerve responses and make for inaccurate results. so just have your test and take your medicine after. If you have nerve damage youll need it more after the test anyhow.
What is involved in interpreting EMG results?
The interpretation of EMG results is not a simple matter, requiring analysis of the onset, duration, amplitude, and other characteristics of the spike patterns.
How is an EMG test conducted?

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 Electroneuromyography?
Electroneuromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of muscles and the conduction of signals along nerves. It is commonly used to evaluate conditions affecting the muscles and nerves, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. By analyzing the EMG results, healthcare providers can assess the function and health of the muscles and nerves.
What is Rectified EMG?
Rectified EMG is EMG where the negative peaks are made positive. In Matlab: rectified_emg = abs(emg).
