I just got this done today and it sucked. It hurt bad and my hand got paralyzed for 2 hours after the test. Luckily just 1 hand. Also that guy is doing the test on low electricity cause mine jumped like a Bouncing Betty.

The test is not that bad, i hate needles and pass out a lot with them.. i did not pass out today. If i would have gotten it done 4 years ago and not chickened out i wouldnt have to have surgery now!!! this test is painful, but worth it!

Just had this done 20 minutes ago on both lower legs. NOT FUN. i was prodded on both legs, then stabbed with a needle 6 or more times in each leg. they had to stop because i almost passed out.

you look like a nice doctor, but the test is NOT nice!! it hurts! that's en electric shock, i felt, on my limbs. and after that, i was expected to lay completely still, as the doctor stuck a needle in the same area. ouch! this test hurts, and i think people should be warned more!

I got to the last part of the testand they connected a probe to my neck base and the other atop my head, they stopped the test and resceduled saying the machine was broken. then the manufacturer expert conducted the test, he said he had only seen it 1 other time in 25 years. instead of a sine wave it was more like a tightly compacted sound wave going crazy...always wondered what does this mean doc?

Hi,

My neurologist has suggested me NCV+EMG test for all limbs as i have muscles twitching problem throughout my body even my lips and eyebrows twitches so do u think its enough?i mean they will only check my hands and my legs right so what abt other parts where i have problem?

Great Video! I have a question I hope you will answer the best you can. Can this test determine if there is some type of nerve damage in the spine, around T4-T6 that is causing pain in the spine AND shoulder blade area traveling down the arm to the fingers? At times there is traveling pain up one side of the neck too. Thank You!
