An EMG, or Electromyography, is a diagnostic test that measures how well your muscles and nerves are functioning. It helps neurologists identify nerve injuries, muscle disorders, or problems in the communication between nerves and muscles, whether the issue originates in the peripheral nerves or the central nervous system.
The EMG study is usually divided into two parts:
Common alternative names for this test include:
An EMG (Electromyography) and Nerve Conduction Study (NCS or NCT) are performed when there are signs of possible nerve or muscle disorders. Your doctor may refer you for these tests if you experience:
These tests help the neurologist evaluate how well your nerves and muscles are functioning and identify the exact location and severity of any nerve damage.
The EMG and Nerve Conduction Test are conducted by a specialist neurologist. The procedure usually takes about 30–60 minutes and does not require any special preparation. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the test.
During the EMG portion, very thin sterile needles (electrodes) are inserted into selected muscles to record their electrical activity. In some cases, you may feel mild discomfort, tingling, or brief muscle contraction during the test.
The Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) measures how fast and how strongly electrical signals travel through your nerves, providing additional information about nerve health.
Both tests are safe, minimally invasive, and essential for diagnosing many neurological and muscular disorders accurately.

While both tests evaluate the nervous system, they focus on different aspects:
In most cases, EMG and NCS are performed together to provide a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis.
The Single Fiber EMG is an advanced version of the standard EMG test, designed to detect neuromuscular disorders with high precision. Unlike a conventional EMG, which evaluates multiple muscle fibers together, the single fiber technique examines individual muscle fibers, allowing detection of subtle communication problems between nerves and muscles – issues that standard EMG may miss.
This test is particularly useful for diagnosing:

Your doctor may suggest an EMG (Electromyography) or Nerve Conduction Study if you experience:
No referral is required. However, a referral with a clear protocol helps the neurologist focus on the relevant areas and perform the test more effectively.
No special preparation is needed before an EMG test. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and avoiding lotions, oils, or creams on your skin on the day of the test.
Yes, EMG is generally safe for patients with pacemakers or heart problems, but you should inform your neurologist in advance so the procedure can be adjusted if needed.
Yes, the test is safe for all ages. The procedure is tailored to the patient’s age and medical condition.
EMG is considered very safe. You may experience:
Usually, no. However, consult your doctor if you take blood thinners or specific neurological medications.
Yes. Your doctor may recommend additional tests such as MRI scan, CT scan, or neurological blood tests to get a comprehensive view of nerve and muscle health.
Most EMG tests are often combined with NCS (Nerve Conduction Study) for a complete evaluation.
How much does an EMG cost?
The cost varies based on the type of EMG, number of areas tested, and complexity of the procedure. Typical prices range between ₪1,900 and ₪3,000.
