Before your appointment
Electrical stimulation and surface recordings assess nerve function. Tell the service about implanted electrical devices before attending.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- Appointment length depends on the nerves tested and whether needle EMG is added.
- Hospital stay
- Usually outpatient, without an overnight stay for the test itself. Preparation or additional tests may extend attendance.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan one attendance for the test and a results discussion. The referral assessment and any repeat or additional tests may require separate visits; ask whether results can be discussed remotely.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Most people resume usual activities after surface testing. Results are interpreted alongside examination and, when needed, EMG or imaging.
