During a nerve conduction study, small surface electrodes are placed on the skin over a nerve and the muscle it supplies. Brief, mild electrical pulses are applied and the response is recorded, showing how quickly and how strongly signals travel along the nerve. Nothing is passed into the body, and most people describe the pulses as a short tingling or tapping sensation.

Electromyography records the electrical activity a muscle produces. A very fine needle electrode is placed into the muscle and the activity is recorded while the muscle is relaxed, then while it is gently tightened. The recording helps the clinician assess how the muscle and the nerve supplying it are working. EMG and NCS are often carried out in the same appointment.

An EEG records the brain’s electrical activity. Small electrodes are attached to the scalp with a gel or paste, and activity is recorded while you rest quietly. You may be asked to breathe deeply, to look at a flashing light, or to open and close your eyes at certain points. The electrodes only listen — nothing is passed into the body, and the test is painless.

In repetitive nerve stimulation, a nerve is stimulated several times in a short series while the response of the muscle it supplies is recorded. Comparing those responses shows how consistently the signal is passing from the nerve to the muscle. Like a nerve conduction study, it uses surface electrodes and brief, mild electrical pulses.

A sleep study, or polysomnography, records several body signals while you sleep. Small sensors are placed on the scalp and face, a sensor sits under the chin, soft bands go around the chest, and a light tube rests below the nose to measure airflow. Together they record brain activity, eye and chin movement, heart rhythm, breathing effort and body position. The sensors only listen — nothing is passed into the body, and the recording is painless.

Neurodiagnostic tests are usually requested by a doctor as part of the assessment of neurological or neuromuscular symptoms. If you have a referral letter or previous reports, bringing them to your appointment can be helpful. The clinic will confirm any preparation you need when your appointment is arranged.
