RE: Standard nerve-conduction studies can lead to unnecessary surgery

[Guest guest]

That's interesting. The PA at my rheumy gave me a nerve conductionn test

and sent me to a neurologist becasue of the results. The neurologist eas

pretty strong in her opinion that those electrode tests do not reveal much

of anything. I then did a full emg with needles and all and had no abnormal

results. Apparantly those electrode tests are heavily promoted by the

companies that made them, and the results are faxed from the company back to

the doctor. The neurologist felt that offsite interpretation could not

really be possible.
