EMG vs. NCS: When you need one, the other, or both
This guide explains how electromyography and nerve conduction studies work together to answer key diagnostic questions that imaging and exam alone can miss. You’ll learn what each test measures, when NCS alone may suffice, and when pairing with EMG is essential. Clinical examples such as carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathy, and fibular neuropathy show how combined testing improves localization, severity grading, and prognosis.
